What are multiple databases used for

Content Service

  • All schema fields except body is stored in Neo4J
  • Body, hierarchy is stored in cassandra
  • Redis caches the content ids and hierarchy for use by other services
  • Content is indexed to Elastic Search

Search API

  • Search API runs off Elastic Search. More details here
  • The compositesearch index is used for the search.
  • compositesearch is actually just an alias to an actual ES index. This is done so that if the index crashes, a new index can be built, and the alias can be pointed to the new index
