Hello,

at the moment,

o = SomeClass.new
id = JSON.dump o.id
=> "

{\"$oid\":\"53aa928b6176721976000000\"}

"
id = JSON.load id
=>

{"$oid"=>"53aa928b6176721976000000"}
SomeClass.find(:id => id) # This fails

This is the process used by sidekiq to serialize parameters for its tasks btw.

Is there a way to query for a record by passing the {{{"$oid"=>"53aa928b6176721976000000"}

}} hash directly?

That would give the symmetric behavior expected of when pushing an id to sidekiq, you retrieve an id in the worker (instead of a hash).
