Hello Stan,
  Great question. I come across with one such implementation based on
lucene. Its called LIRE .
This is an open source project. http://www.lire-project.net/
You might get some ideas there.
Please let me know if you find answers to your specific questions there.
I'm curious.

Thanks
Phaneendra
