-------------------------------------
http://remis-thoughts.blogspot.com/2012/03/perfect-hashes-in-java-given-set-of-m.html
provides a perfect hash for a set. We can select the primary index and
secondary index combination set to create a perfect hash.
Usage is here.

> Existing data filtering uses the following algorithm
> {code}
> 1. find best selective predicate based on the smallest mean columns count
> 2. fetch rows for the best selective predicate predicate, then filter the
> data based on other predicates left.
> {code}
> So potentially we could improve the performance by
> {code}
> 1. joining multiple predicates then do the data filtering for other
> predicates.
> 2. fine tune the best predicate selection algorithm
> {code}
> For multiple predicate join, it could improve performance if one predicate
> has many entries and another predicate has a very few of entries. It means a
> few index CF read, join the row keys, fetch rows then filter other predicates
> Another approach is to have index on multiple columns.
