> Buffer pulls messages off Redis, assigns ID, and inserts in DB (MongoDB)

After some discussion in #openstack-marconi, it seems like we may be able
to get MongoDB to do this for us by not including "_id" in the message
document. The downside is that we won't have the ObjectIDs to return to
the client, but we can work around that (perhaps by creating an
alternative ID that is used only for individual message lookup, not as a
marker).
