No indication if filtering is using a valid field or not

[mjallday]

The Balanced API only filters on a subset of the returned fields.

    @hold = Balanced::Hold.find(:first, id: hold.id)

This code looks like it will return the first hold with the associated ID. However, the API doesn't allow filtering on the ID field.

Balanced should either throw an error in the balanced-ruby library or document which fields are indexable.

Runable example showing how this can bite you in the butt - https://gist.github.com/47b943f57096b4a9c471

So this is actually an API issue silently ignoring fields it's not indexing on -- not a Ruby client issue. We'll track the progress of this issue with this github ticket and update when we fix and prioritize internally.

Opened a ticket on the balanced-api repo which will need to be tackled first.
