I want the equivalent of ros-indigo package ... the package ros-kinetic-mongodb is not available

I do not see ros-indigo-mongodb package exists.

If you meant mongodb_store, there's an ongoing discussion for making it into ROS Kinetic. Add your thoughts there, or better yet make a pull request.

I had to install this recently and managed to get it working without too many problems. Using kinetic and a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04LTS

1. I installed ros kinetic desktop full and all the panda_moveit_config package
2. Tried to run 'roslaunch panda_moveit_config demo.launch rviz_tutorial:=true'
3. This requires the warehouse_ros_mongo package which is not actually released for kinetic on ubuntu
4. But it can be built from source using https://github.com/ros-planning/warehouse_ros_mongo
5. To get the C++ driver for this, ignore their instructions and use http://mongocxx.org/legacy-v1/installation/

git clone -b releases/legacy https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-cxx-driver.git git checkout legacy sudo scons --prefix=/usr/local --disable-warnings-as-errors install

This should finish with warnings but not errors.

Then clone warehouse_ros_mongo and build it with catkin make. I had to add

'add_compile_options(-std=c++11)'

to the CMakeLists.txt file for that package.

You should be able to run roslaunch panda_moveit_config demo.launch db:=true

and connect to the database on the port which is noted in the terminal output.
