+If you have multiple keys for a message, please concatenate them with 'KEY_SEPARATOR' char, as shown below:
+```java
+   // order id 
+   String orderId = "20034568923546";
+   String otherKey = "19101121210831";
+   String keys = new StringBuilder(orderId)
+           .append(org.apache.rocketmq.common.message.MessageConst.KEY_SEPARATOR)
+           .append(otherKey).toString();
+   message.setKeys(keys);
+```
+And if you want to query the message, please use `orderId` and `otherKey` to query respectively instead of `keys`, 
+because the server will unwrap `keys` with `KEY_SEPARATOR` and create corresponding index.
+In the above example, the server will create two indexes, one for `orderId` and one for `otherKey`.
