Thanks for the info, I will try again with Solr 5.4.1!
I think it would be helpful if the tutorial would say something about which
version(s) of Solr can work with Nutch, perhaps calling attention to the ivy
file you mentioned in your email. The download link, in our "Setup Solr for
Search" section, points to a choice of 5.5.3 or 6.3.0 (at the moment). I ran
into NUTCH-2267 on both of the Solr versions (6.3.0 and 5.5.3) I tried to work
with.

That is because the only official documentation resides at

You should use the specified version of Solr for the Nutch release. This is
Solr 5.4.1 as defined in the indexer-solr plugin ivy.xml

Yes I would. This is explained at

This is not a Nutch question. This is your preferred Solr configuration. If
you are just starting out then I would say it is not a big deal...
experiment and go with what works best for your requirements and resources
capacity.

Not much. For reference though, here are the Solr configuration options.
