This logic escapes me. Nutch hatched Hadoop. Hadoop was perceived to be of much broader utility than just for nutch so it was made more general and a separate project was formed. Hadoop does not depend on Nutch.
Lucene existed. Solr was built to make it easier to use Lucene. The developers of Solr built a bunch of stuff that was specific to server-ness and a bunch of stuff that would have general utility to many Lucene developers. Solr depends critically on Lucene and can be seen as a Lucene wrapper. How does this analogy fit together? Is it supposed to be Hadoop is to Nutch as Solr is to Lucene? That seems so clearly wrong it can't be what you were saying.
