  Any Commerce v7 Solr users trying to display unstructured
  dynamic fields on the storefront

  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• The SolrReadWebContentViewPartMediator has been corrected to
  handle multi-value index columns.  When using this code to map a
   custom index field to a UserData field in the WebContentView
  noun part, ensure that:
  
  i) the custom index field is returned using the search profile,
  for example:
  
   <_config:field name="tika_content"/>
  
  ii)  in the wc-business-object-mediator.xml file,  under the
  mediator property for the CatalogNavigationView:
  
  <_config:object
  logicalType="com.ibm.commerce.catalog.facade.datatypes.CatalogNa
  vigationViewType"
  physicalType="com.ibm.commerce.catalog.facade.server.services.se
  arch.metadata.solr.SolrCatalogNavigationViewImpl">
      <_config:mediator
  interfaceName="com.ibm.commerce.foundation.server.services.dataa
  ccess.bom.mediator.ReadBusinessObjectMediator"
  className="com.ibm.commerce.catalog.facade.server.services.dataa
  ccess.bom.mediator.solr.SolrReadCatalogNavigationViewMediator">
     <_config:mediator-properties>
      <_config:mediator-property
  name="WebContentView/UserData[(Name='userContent')]"
  value="tika_content" />
