Hi Shamik, funny enough, we had a similar issue with our old legacy application that still used plain Lucene code in a JBoss container.
Same, there were no specific queries or updates causing this, the performance just broke completely without unusual usage. GC was raising up to 99% or so. Sometimes it came back after some while but most often we had to completely restart JBoss for that. I never figured out what the root cause was, but my suspicion still is that Lucene was innocent. I rather suspect Rackspace's hypervisor to be the blamable. So maybe you can give it a try and have a look at the Amazon cloud settings?
