Here is an issue with the official Nutch tutorial.
In the "setup Solr for Search" it gives the following instructions.* download
binary file from here
* unzip to $HOME/apache-solr, we will now refer to this as ${APACHE_SOLR_HOME}
* cd ${APACHE_SOLR_HOME}/example
* java -jar start.jar
Unfortunately, there is no start .jar in the examples directory. When I instead
try to use the start.jar in the servers directory, Java says "WARNING: Nothing
to start, exiting ..."
You need something like the following to start solr.$APACHE_SOLR_HOME/bin/solr
start -e cloud -noprompt
In this case, I am using solr 5.4.1
Also, as mentioned previously, the tutorial says nothing about which version of
solr to use.

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.
