Nutch uses lucene as an inverted index. Lucene does not have an index 
structure. You create the structure
(I mean the fields) using lucene. Nutch stores some default fields in 
the index as well as extra fields from index
plugins. You can check out the structure of the index from the wiki : 
http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/IndexStructure

What you should do is to compare the structure nutch uses with the 
structure you use, and somehow combine the two. In most of the fields, 
you sould converge to the nutch version. Other than that, once index the 
index is created from nutch, it is lucene stuff. You can merge the 
indexes or run a MultiSearcher, or open seperate 
DistributedSearch$Clients and combine the results from seperate indexes 
on the fly. However there is an issue about summaries. Do you intend to 
use them?
