Indexes work only when the table has id field

[stefanneculai]

Index work fine only when the HASH KEY is id.

In my opinion, indexes should not map obj.id but [HASH_KEY, RANGE_VALUE] and use it as an identifier for the row the index is added to. This will make it easy to retrieve the item from the original table this way.

So I think the problem here is that on tables with range keys, the 'id' is still only the hash_key. This violates an implied identity:

x = MyTable.create
MyTable.find(x.id) == x ##Broken for tables with range keys

I think the fix is to enhance the id method to return the [hash_key, range_key] tuple, either as a string or as an actual array, though I haven't thought it all the way through.

Yes, my fix is a temporary fix, but at least it will partially work when there is no range_key. Changing it to [hash_key, range_key] has a lot of implies in the code and the way data is processed when retrieved from Adapter.
