Just for the sake of completeness can you describe the use cases
where the resource_id translation that gnocchi does does not help
the use case. The one way translation is used in the body of search
queries as well as in any URL which contains a resource_id.

I'm sure there are use cases where it breaks down, but I've not
heard them enumerated explicitly.

Thanks.
