Description

Currently solr/lucene/common-build.xml hardcodes file ivy-settings.xml in the ivy.configure task. It means that, unlike all other CDH components that use Ant, Solr does not allow the user to provide a custom ivysettings.xml.

In the Cauldron CDH build, we need to make some adjustments in the build process to satisfy CDH-internal build dependencies with artifacts generated locally, rather than download them from repo1.maven.org etc. E.g. all component should use locally-generated avro-snapshot jars instead of publicly released ones, etc. For Ant, we achieve that by giving it a special ivysettings.xml file, that limits artifact downloading to the local on-disk maven repository and Cloudera artifactory server.

All CDH components except Solr allow the user to specify a custom ivysettings.xml file by overriding -Divysettings.xml property. We need to add the same feature to Solr. It can be easily achieved by changing several lines in solr/lucene/common-build.xml.
