This is a pretty awesome combination, actually. I'm getting started using it myself, and I'd be very interested in what kind of benchmark results you get vs. Solr and your other candidates. DataStax Enterprise 2.0 was released in March and is based on Solr 4.0 and Cassandra 1.0.7 or 1.0.8, I'm looking for the Cassandra 1.1 based release.
Note: I am not affiliated with DataStax in anyway, other than being a satisfied customer for the past few months. I am just trying to selfishly fuel your interest so you'll consider benchmarking it. My project is already using Cassandra, and we had to manage Solr separately. Having the Solr indexes, and core configuration (solrconfig.xml, schema.xml, synonyms.txt etc) in Cassandra, being distributed and replicated among the various nodes, and eventually for us, multiple data centers is fantastic.
