Clarification of Optional Dependency on LGPL

Hello,

I'm working on a project [1] of creating a Sesame [2] parser for RDF HDT.
There's a Java implementation [3], with the licence of LGPL.

Can Apache project rely on LGPL module, if the module is an optional one
without included in the Apache product by default?

Can the code dealing with the optional LGPL module be included in the
source code of the repository of the product?

yours,
junyue
