Way to serialize _id

[M1ha-Shvn]

Hey. My application is built on the bases of basic elasticsearch library. I've decided to ease migrations and installed this extention. Everything is fine except for my system is designed to treat elasticsearch _id as postgresql model id. In this case I can't write custom serializer deserialize(source), which doesn't contain _id field in source parameter. At the same time, it'not clear, how to set up _id inserialize(instance) method.

Hello, The Elasticsearch id is automatically set to the model instance id, it happens here : https://github.com/liberation/django-elasticsearch/blob/master/django_elasticsearch/managers.py#L127.
