Description

SiteSearchData is a stand-alone WDK implementation that should not need to access our global OAuth server or any "real" Oracle user database to do its job. We could probably rig up a system that creates a containerized OAuth and/or userdb that can create and use user IDs in a completely independent value-space from our real user IDs. Possible implementations are containerized versions of OAuth and a postgres user DB. But even simpler may be a SQLite for user DB and an independently running OAuth with a dummy authenticator (and AtomicInteger counter to produce user IDs). Might be less work than it seems.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Compare the proposed containerized OAuth and PostgreSQL setup with the SQLite and dummy-authenticator alternative, then define how SiteSearchData gets an isolated user-ID space. Done means it operates without the global OAuth server or real Oracle user database.
