Have you looked at the whole flexible indexing functionality? Here's a couple of places to start: http://www.opensourceconnections.com/2013/06/05/build-your-own-lucene-codec/ http://www.slideshare.net/LucidImagination/flexible-indexing-in-lucene-40
I'm still not quite sure why you want to do this, but have you looked at FieldInfo? The c'tor allows you to control a lot of things like whether to store termvectors etc. See: http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_0_0/core/org/apache/lucene/index/FieldInfo.html And if that doesn't answer, perhaps you'd explain a bit more _why_ you want to do this, this could be an XY problem.
