Ok, let's put aside current fields configuration, I'll create separate
thread for it. As far as _KEY and _VAL, proposed change is exactly about
mappings:

class QueryEntity {
    ...
    String keyFieldName;
    String valFieldName;
    ...
}

The key thing is that we will not require users to be aware of our system
columns. Normally user should not bother about existence of hidden _KEY and
_VAL columns. Instead, we just allow them to optionally reference the whole
key and/or val through predefined name.
