I only glanced at Sami's post recently and what I think I saw there is something different. In other words, what Sami described is not a Solr instance pointing to a Nutch-built Lucene index, but rather an app that reads the appropriate Nutch/Hadoop files with fetched content and posts the read content to a Solr instance using a Solr java client like solrj. No?

I think you should keep an eye on the versions of Lucene library used by both Nutch + Solr - differences at this layer *could* make them incompatible - but I am not an expert...
