>
> Current column mapping support requires key column to be first in Hive table 
> (and implicit rather than explicit in column mapping).  We should allow it to 
> be specified explicitly at any position within column mapping, e.g. with 
> syntax :key to distinguish it from normal columns/families.
> Together with this, allow :timestamp column to be mapped.  For writes, this 
> would allow timestamp to be explicitly provided by query (although we may 
> want to prevent this in some cases; see for example HIVE-1223 and HIVE-1225). 
>  For reads, this would allow timestamp to be fetched, and filters on 
> timestamp could be used to find particular row versions.  (If no filter is 
> supplied, should we return all row versions or only the default latest 
> version?  The semantics need to be well-defined here.)
