This will require significant development on your part. Nutch may be able to provide more of what you need OOB.
3) Solr that has to exploit multi-machines because we have plenty of them in a tightly coupled P2P scenario - Machines are not a problem but will they be if they are of varied configurations (PIII to Core2; Linux to Vista; 32-bit to 64-bit; J2SE 1.1 to 1.6)
Solr requires java 1.5, lucene requires java 1.4. Also, there is certainly no point mixing PIII's and modern cpus: trying to achieve the appropriate balance between machines of such disparate capability will take much more effort than will be gained out of using them.
