I think this is this one:
http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_2_0/core/org/apache/lucene/index/Term.html#Term(java.lang.String,
java.lang.String)

Lucene has no schema that would allow you to specify a primary key,
but there is the IndexWriter.updateDocument method that allows for
atomic updates of documents:
http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_2_0/core/org/apache/lucene/index/IndexWriter.html#updateDocument(org.apache.lucene.index.Term,
java.lang.Iterable)
You just need to pass a term where the field name is the name of your
primary key field and the value is the actual ID.
