### Example
Entity definition:
```
@Table("timelines")
public interface Timeline {
@PartitionKey
UUID userId();
@ClusteringColumn
@Timeuuid
Date timestamp();
@Column
String text();
}
```
Session initialization:
```
Timeline timeline = Casser.dsl(Timeline.class);
CasserSession session = Casser.init(getSession()).showCql().add(Timeline.class).autoCreateDrop().get();
```
Select information:
```
session.select(timeline::userId, timeline::timestamp, timeline::text)
.where(timeline::userId, Query.eq(userId))
.orderBy(Query.desc(timeline::timestamp)).limit(5).sync()
.forEach(System.out::println);
```
Insert information:
```
TimelineImpl post = new TimelineImpl();
post.userId=userId;
post.timestamp=new Date(postTime+1000L*i);
post.text="hello";
session.upsert(post).sync();
```
