Purpose of SRS docker image when using external elastic search
Can we not directly connect Pega Platform (deployed as a container) with external Elastic Search.
I see references to SRS and a few configs related to it like srsStorage.provisionInternalESCluster. However, wondering why do we need SRS instance running which internally again connects to some other ES Cluster. Here looks like SRS instance is just used as a relay, is this really required?

- Convenient maintenance and data management by indexing data of specific classes.
For example, you can save time by indexing specific data of the Work class instead of indexing the whole class.
- Optimal usage of resources depending on your requirements.
- Bug fixes and service upgrades regardless of the Pega Platform release cycle.
- Immediate access to the search functionality, because the service is available by default.
- Full support of row-level and partial support of property-level security of attribute-based access control (ABAC).
Row-level security requires configuration. For more information, see Attribute-based access control.
- Partial support of role-based access control (RBAC).
Search returns objects restricted by RBAC, but they are inaccessible for users.

- Search landing page overview
The search landing page helps you control what data is available for the Search and Reporting Service (SRS). You can decide which classes of specific applications you want to index, to make them available for search. For example, you can index a class that contains data about resolved bugs to make bug resolution data searchable.
- Indexing class data
Control what data in your application is available for the Search and Reporting Service to include only the information that you require. You can index data of specific classes into the service to make them searchable for all users.
