A bit dated but should give a reasonable overview: https://wiki.lustre.org/images/d/da/LUG08-Lustre-NFS.pdf
I would prefer NFSv4 over v3. Expect that NFS performance will be less than Lustre native.

Do you mean that the storage will be lustre and client will be mounted with NFS? Will this affect the performance?

I am not aware of a FUSE mountable Lustre, it would be very likely to have an unacceptable performance profile. There is also method to re-export as an NFS share to enable NFS clients access to data stored on Lustre, an example use case is when client OS does not support Lustre but does support NFS.

Is lustre storage and client mounted in kernel space or user space? 2. Can lustre be mounted with fuse? What is the use of mounting lustre with fuse? Thanks and regards, Nick
