I got a solution on this and can be found in Datastore Queries - Query interface example:

Query q = new Query("Person") 
        PreparedQuery pq = datastore.prepare(q);  
    for (Entity result : pq.asIterable()) {   
       String firstName = (String) result.getProperty("firstName");   
       String lastName = (String) result.getProperty("lastName");   
       Long height = (Long) result.getProperty("height");   
       System.out.println(lastName + " " + firstName + ", " + height.toString() + "inches tall"); 
}

I did not add filter in query since it return all entities from datastore.
