That's right - most of them are about distributed searching (hence my notes about sharding being up to the app). Hadoop's contrib/index is about dist indexing:
"This contrib package provides a utility to build or update an index using Map/Reduce. A distributed "index" is partitioned into "shards". Each shard corresponds to a Lucene instance."
