For starters:

Lucene:

http://gmod.org/wiki/Lucegene/

I also know of several big Pharma companies using it, but can't say names.  You 
can likely guess, as they are instantly recognizable global brands.

TREC Genomics focused on info retrieval on genome data.  Lucene is used by NIST 
to setup the relevance pool, etc.

I know many people that use it to search PubMed and the like and then correlate 
it with outputs from internal documents/experiments/etc.  

Hadoop

One I saw: http://www.slideshare.net/cloudera/hw09-hadoop-for-bioinfomatics

I'm sure others in the Hadoop community can name some more.  I recall seeing 
some others go by my radar, but don't see URLs.  These days, when your talking 
TBs of data for a single sequencing run (or others), you need large scale data 
crunching capabilities

Mahout

I'd ask on mahout-u...@lucene.a.o.  Nothing comes to mind, but we have a lot of 
lurkers there, so it might hit home.  Mahout is a very likely candidate for 
this kind of work.

Some basic searching for "Lucene genetics", etc. will lead you to a good deal 
of results.

HTH,
Grant
