Can any explain me what is inverted index and forward index used in solr

this.
Most of Solr's functionality is provided by Lucene, which is a
Java-based programming API that provides full-text search.
https://lucene.apache.org/core/
https://lucene.apache.org/core/7_6_0/index.html
The inverted index is the central feature of Lucene, where most of its
capability starts.
I've never heard of a forward index. The closest things I can think of
that might satisfy that terminology are either stored fields or DocValues.
If you want in-depth information about Lucene, you may find better
answers on the mailing list for that product than this mailing list.
https://lucene.apache.org/core/discussion.html
To answer a later message where you asked about the source code:
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute
Note that when you get the source code for Solr, you are also getting
all the source code for Lucene. Both projects share the same codebase.
Thanks,
