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
