The HTML version of the manual disappeared from lustre.org a few weeks
ago, I'm not sure why.  The PDF version still works, but it won't have
any information about what you are looking for.

You can also look at an HTML version of the 2.1 manual from:

You can access a mounted Lustre filesystem from Java just like any other
locally mounted  filesystem.  It is fully POSIX compliant.

I'm not sure what else you might be thinking is necessary.  There is no
special access library needed like PVFS or such.
