So, solr-1301 builds the solr lucene indexes, it is over kill if you are just using lucene. The contrib index build code with hadoop is sufficient.
Moving the indexes to the local file system is the most simple strategy, you could try using fuse to mount hdfs as a local file system, for access as an alternative.
