Flume is a event collection tool, means Flume poll a source or catch events. 
HBase is a database, and usually stores some kind of data in a schema (CF). You 
could write a custom source and do a scan on your tables, but really I see no 
sense in such a task. And a full table scan at HBase is really expensive.
What do you mean with reindexing? HBase has primary and secondary indexes 
(http://hbase.apache.org/book/secondary.indexes.html), which can be processed 
over filters. To integrate HBase into SolR, you can use one of the tools I 
mentioned in my post before or ask the SolR mailing lists.
