MSRP dependency with Apache Solr

[balasubramanian_n]

In our project we planned to implement AEM Community feature with Mongo Storage Resource Provider (MSRP), we had purchased Mongo Db license for this. While configuring we came to know that Apache Solr is mandatory for this and it requires for indexing the UGC content, as Apache Solr is an open source product do we need to purchase license for this separately or is there a way to implement this MSRP without Apache Solr server, advice on this is required to proceed, Thanks.

Hi @balasubramanian_n,

Apache Solr is free to use. Solr is used to index/cache the UGC data that is persisted in MongoDB.

(writes happens via MongoDB, reads from Apache Solr)

Below article gives an understanding of UGC Infra options and detailed explanation for MSRP (with Architecture diagram) for your reference if you haven't checked already
