it's not possible to write individual properties to the Index, As most of the times the lucene index it's just a desnormalized view of what you have in a database, the usual way it's to write and get those properties directly from the database.
As for reading, you could access directly to the document via the documentid, but it's a property that it's not reliable, because it changes when you optimize the index. Howewer, a search by a unique keyword it's very fast, so you can make the search and access the document. But, as i said before, for this kind of requeriments it easier to work with a database. รง Jokin.
