Description

What is the new container you'd like to have?

Apache Solr

Why not just use a generic container for this?

Similar to OpenSearch and Elasticsearch, there's a somewhat complicated setup and wait strategy that needs to be used. This is handled already in the Java implementation.

Other references:

Solr is already supported in the Java testcontainers library: https://java.testcontainers.org/modules/solr/

This enhancement would bring the same support to Python, allowing tests to be written with Pysolr and Testcontainers with minimal setup.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Java SolrContainer implementation linked in the issue and the Apache Solr Docker deployment references. Compare the existing Python container modules with the requested setup and wait strategy. Done means Solr support is available for Python tests using Pysolr with minimal setup, matching the stated Java support.
