There are some pretty active threads currently going on on 
java-dev at lucene.apache.org AND in Lucene's JIRA bug database about this and 
related topics.

Currently, I don't know of ways to do this in Java Lucene. If there is a way 
to write a simple Java Lucene extension then, if that class is not easily 
extended from PyLucene, I can help you do this. But the solution has got to 
come first from Java Lucene.
