Component to be refactored
The REST API currently requires configuration inputs to determine what database it is connecting to.
Purpose of refactoring
Less configuration for deployment.
Proposed method
Add information to the database schema which could tell the REST API which database (oracle/postgresql/etc) and which type (CWMS/OpenTSDB/HDB/etc) instead of needing to add additional configuration parameters.
