Solr-Lucene compatibility

I have an app the writes lucene indexes and is based on lucene 2.3.0.

Can I read those indexes using solr 3.5.0 and perform a distributed search?
Or should I use a lower version of solr, so that the index reader is
compatible with the index writer.

Would be great if somebody with prior exposure can advice!

a) Lucene 2.3.0 is pretty damn ancient ... i would strongly recomend you 
upgrade to get a lot of bug fixes and performance improvements

b) in general, writing indexes with Lucene and searching them with (a 
compatible version of) Solr should work fine -- provided the schema.xml 
you configure Solr with matches up with how you've built your index.
