inconsistent reputation due to the conversion

[economicstudio]

• rep by get_account_reputations() and rep in the post info by e.g., get_discussions_by_blog() are inconsistent.

Initially I thought this may be due to the sync delay of hivemind, but interestingly sometimes hivemind rep was higher (i.e., lower makes sense if it's due to the sync delay).

Finally, I realized that it's due to the conversion: https://github.com/steemit/hivemind/blob/dcb177937578b59bd6471e654654532e58adc170/hive/server/condenser_api/cursor.py#L109

That is, hivemind seems not storing the raw reputation value at all in account table: https://github.com/steemit/hivemind/blob/f7a467921678d928a0d94928c811442b8ab80bce/hive/db/schema.py#L40

I agree that log_rep is useful for the front-end, but all front-ends already expect the raw reputation, so for backward compatibility, the raw reputation should be provided anyway. This extra conversion (which cannot be exact) seems unnecessary to me.

• Is there any reason behind this design? e.g., dapps already using log_rep from hivemind?
• How can I access log_rep directly? The existing APIs seem returning raw rep only.

In any case, I think it's better to have the extra field of log_rep in addition to the raw rep.

Please see my suggestions: [suggestion] Two small yet mighty information that can be powered by Hivemind - followers' SP / rep & rep_log10: followers' SP / rep & rep_log10 Thanks.
