Annotation Type ClusteringColumn

@Target(value={FIELD,METHOD})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface ClusteringColumn

Annotates the field or getter of an Entity property, to indicate that it's a clustering column.

Example:

 @ClusteringColumn private int month;
 

This information is used by the mapper processor to generate default queries (for example a basic Select).

If there are multiple clustering columns, you must specify value() to indicate the position of each property:

 @ClusteringColumn(1) private int month;
 @ClusteringColumn(2) private int day;
 

If you don't specify positions, or if there are duplicates, the mapper processor will issue a compile-time error.

This annotation is mutually exclusive with PartitionKey.
