I think this is a great idea. Lucene badly needs this sort of high-level interface.
As far as other folks' concern about keeping Lucene a library and not making it an application, I agree, but I also assumed that's what you meant to do. All of this can be layered on top of the existing API. The only change to the existing API that you propose is possibly making Document an extensible class, which might be feasable, but I'd like to see a more detailed proposal before I signed off on that.
