Annotation Type PrimaryKey

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

Identifies the primary key field of the entity, which may be of a basic type or of a type that represents a composite primary key class. This field corresponds to the PRIMARY KEY of the corresponding Cassandra table. Only one field in a given type hierarchy may be annotated with this annotation.

Remember, if the Cassandra table has multiple primary key columns, then you must define a class annotated with PrimaryKeyClass to represent the primary key!
