Solr doesn't explicitly support such relationships as its document model is flat.
It would seem reasonable to index your users and posts into the same index, but making sure your field names don't overlap. That is, your users might have a field 'name', and your posts have a field 'owner' and another 'content'. That way, you could search for: q=name:foo content:foo would find you any users who's name contains the term foo, and any posts who's content contains the term foo. Why would you want to 'define' a relationship? How would that help you? You can use pseudo-joins in 4.0 to do queries such as 'find me all users who have a post which mentions foo', or 'find me all posts by all users who joined last year'.
