Todo

• Add json-schema validation to model insert, insertMany and update methods
• Add lifecycle hooks for methods that are defined on schema definitions
• Intergrate dropAllIndexes method
• Handle multi-tenant database semantics
• Switch to generators or async await instead of neo-async dependency
• Add ability to use different datastores based on configuration
