This question is better addressed to the user list, rather than
this dev list.

What you want should not be very difficult, but it is probably
easier to get started with Solr rather than using Lucene directly.
Off the top of my head, you could add a token filter, possibly
along with a custom analyser. This would convert input for both
indexing and querying into the respective hashes. Please see
http://wiki.apache.org/solr
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters

I would also add that comparing hashes is not necessarily a
good idea: What benefit does it get you, and what happens in
case of collisions?
