// All taken from https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-js/blob/master/src/pipeline/adapters/rest.js

// When creating a new REST based pipe, a recordId can be configured
// An app using the lib can then use what ever record identifier it wants
aerogear.pipeline.adapters.rest = function( pipeName, recordId, settings ) { ... }

// Then during a save, I can check for a value assigned to that id to determine the request type
type = data[ this.recordId ] ? "PUT" : "POST";

// After that we get into whether or not data sync is happening, etc. but I do not rely on a particular record identifier
