Rabbit only supports obtaining messages from the head of a queue
(whether by consuming or by basic.get).  There is currently no way to
query or browse the messages within a queue.

People normally use databases in your situation.  NoSQL key-value
databases work nicely here, because you can just store the message body
under the relevant ID without worrying about schemas.  But relational
DBs will work too.
