It is a composite index (with the name "Entity.Id") of properties (key1, 
key2, key3, key4) on the class "Entity".

To be clear:
Method 1: select from index:Entity.id where key = [1224736769, 2, 14, 22]
Method 2: 
for (Vertex entity : graph.getVertices("Entity", new String[] { "key1", 
"key2", "key3",
        "key4" }, new Object[] { key1_val, key2_val, key3_val, key4_val })) 
{
      return (OrientVertex) entity;
      //there really shouldn't be more than one as this is a unique index 
but this seems like a hack
}
Method 3:     Vertex exists = graph.getVertexByKey("Entity.Id", new 
Object[]{key1_val, key2_val, key3_val, key4_val});

Method 1, Method 2 works. But not Method 3 (which I want to work)
