I don't think so (but I don't run nutch)
To actually run searches, the search engines copy the index to local
storage. Having them in HDFS is very nice, however, as a way to move them
to the right place.
Nutch can search in Lucene indexes on HDFS (see
org.apache.nutch.indexer.FsDirectory). However, the performance hit is
substantial, so the best practice is to copy indexes to a local FS.
