Description
In http://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/ we have these folders:
```
[DIR] java/ 2017-02-14 08:33 -
[DIR] mahout/ 2015-02-17 20:27 -
[DIR] nutch/ 2015-02-17 20:29 -
[DIR] pylucene/ 2017-02-13 22:00 -
[DIR] solr/ 2017-02-14 08:33 -
[DIR] tika/ 2015-02-17 20:29 -
[ ] KEYS 2016-08-30 09:59 148K
```
Nobody will expect to find mahout, nutch and tika here anymore, and they are only redirect links, so why not clean up?
Regarding the archive, we'll keep all historic releases as is but ask Nutch if they want to either copy the oldest releases to their archive or provide a link to the lucene/nutch archive for the oldest releases. Tika already have such a link, and hadoop already has a complete set of artifacts in their main repo.
