If I know only a part of the key, How can I access a particular record in KSDS file?

As long as you know the FIRST part of the key, you can do a generic read to find the first record matching the part of the key you have. If you do not have the first part of the key, either an alternate index must be built for the part of the key you have, or what you are asking is not possible.
