there is a C++ port of Lucene (named CLucene iirc) Not sure if there is such thing for Hadoop though.

Yeah, but because it's not the main project, the CLucene port is perpetually the red-headed stepchild. It runs several versions behind the Lucene trunk, and therefore, you have to choose to ignore its disadvantages.

...which is a shame, because I agree with the OP that the choice of Java was a mistake for a large, high-performance system.
