  • feasibility of the whole concept,
  • Admin Settings UI,
  • Creating the data structure,
  • Indexing data, might requiring some changes as Solr does not accept arrays as value
  • Searching data

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by assessing the feasibility of replacing Elasticsearch with Apache Solr, then scope the Admin Settings UI, data structure, indexing, and searching work. Done would mean a defined and implemented Solr path, including handling values that Solr cannot accept as arrays.
