  === get_key_range ===
    `list<string> get_key_range(keyspace, column_family, start, finish, count=100, consistency_level)`
  
- Returns a list of keys starting with `start`, ending with `finish`, and at most `count` long.  (The semantics are similar to the corresponding components of `SliceRange`.)  This method is only allowed when using an order-preserving partitioner.
+ Returns a list of keys starting with `start`, ending with `finish` (both inclusive), and at most `count` long.  The empty string ("") can be used as a sentinel value to get the first/last existing key.  (The semantics are similar to the corresponding components of `SliceRange`.)  This method is only allowed when using an order-preserving partitioner.

  === insert ===
    `insert(keyspace, key, column_path, value, timestamp, consistency_level)`
