specify v2 API as the read-client database for the scraper #391

As long as we're using this "client" model, one of these clients is going to have to have an interface that our scraper knows about and can use to access a current snapshot of the database.

This should be the v2 API.

This actually does not need to be done anymore. My understanding is the scraper will just post the raw inmate data, and the v2 API can figure out the rest. No need for the scraper to know anything about any database.

I am agree. The scraper will not be dependent on any database. This is a great example of seperation of concerns. Capturing the basic inmate information and making it available versus processing the data for analysis and supporting quering on the processed data are separate and distinct activities.
