HBase does not fully support composite keys.
But you can use PrefixFilter and FuzzyRowFilter with some limitations if your 
query involves part of key.

Subject: some problem about HBase index

hello

     If I have a table called 'student',  I want to  use both of  student 
number and student' name as  rowkey  to mark a student,

    I want to verify can HBase support it  ,  and  if  it can, how should I do,

                    Thanks!
