Is Apache Solr suitable for use as a log aggregation and near-real-time
log querying tool?

I am thinking of using Apache Solr to store syslog messages as they
arrive. For example, by using rsyslog with its "pipe output module"
(ompipe) that pipes logs into a Python/Ruby/Shell script that then
inserts the data into Apache Solr.

Is Apache Solr suitable for this use case? I mean, if Elasticsearch can
do this, then so can Apache Solr, right? On the web, I didn't find
much information about using Apache Solr as a log aggregation and
querying tool. Most people seem to use the ELK stack that has arguably
become non-open-source in 2021.
