// class returns unique instance id's for columns.

//
// getInstanceIdForKey('country') => 0
// getInstanceIdForKey('country') => 1
// getInstanceIdForKey('country') => 2
// getInstanceIdForKey('country') => 3
// getInstanceIdForKey('age') => 0
// getInstanceIdForKey('age') => 1
// getInstanceIdForKey('country') => 4
