Using non numeric primary keys #297
Description
Hi !
I am using Django Hash ID for my primary keys of my models (https://github.com/nshafer/django-hashid-field).
When building indexes of the models django-watson is expecting numeric primary keys. Would it be possible to handle both string and numeric primary keys ? Or do you advise a better strategy for using django-watson in my case ?
Here is the error log when running buildwatson command:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thank you very much 🙏 !
