The `_id` attribute for each item is its submission id plus a signature. ThriftDB references objects by their unique `_id` attributes.
The `id` attribute on the other hand is an item's submission id. It's not indexed though so you can't do lookup by id.
- milkshakes 15y agocould you please index the submission ids? i can think of a few reasons this would be useful
