I used to use this SRU module[1] in DSpace 1.6-1.8. It should still work, but it uses Lucene as the search backend. It was an annoyance to upgrade though, so I changed my client to talk to DSpace Solr directly, the client is a component on another server, so I didn't have to secure Solr, only add its IP to RemoteAddrValve. Back then I had this idea for creating a SRU interface as a thin layer on top of Solr, it should be quite easily doable [2], see the link there.
Anyway, I asked you what your use case was. Is it just search query autosuggestion using JQuery? We used to have that before 3.0, but it was removed in the huge patch which brought Access Rights Awareness to Discovery, supposedly due to being memory-inefficient. It's worth looking there how it was implemented. For completeness, I'll also mention solr-security-proxy [3] here, but generally you might want to avoid that approach [4]. Going off on a tangent, Elasticsearch has the same problem, but the company behind ES very recently released a commercial product that addresses this highly requested feature [5].
