Hybris OOTB Solr configuration background

The default configuration is as follows:

solrserver.instances.default.autostart=true
solrserver.instances.default.mode=standalone
solrserver.instances.default.hostname=localhost
solrserver.instances.default.port=8983
solrserver.instances.default.memory=512m

Here, you can see autostart=true which tell Solr server to start and stop together with the Hybris platform.
