Berkeley DB is a great substrate for application data. Storing the index in Berkeley DB too facilitates transactional consistency between application data and the index.

The Chandler project here at the Open Source Applications Foundation (OSAF) is now using Lucene for its text indexing and search needs. Integrating Lucene with Chandler required integrating Lucene with Berkeley DB (and with Python without the use of a Java VM, using GNU's gcj and SWIG).
At the URLs below are lucenedb-1.4-rc1-dev-src Java source archives containing the classes of the org.apache.lucene.store.db extension package.

An org.apache.lucene.store.db.DbDirectory instance is used with org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader, org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter, org.apache.lucene.search.IndexSearcher, etc.. exactly like any other instance of org.apache.lucene.store.Directory.
To build, this package requires Berkeley DB 4.2.52's db.jar file. It is included in the 'lib' directory of the archive. An Ant build.xml file, modeled on Lucene's, is also included.
OSAF is hereby donating this code to the Apache Lucene Project under the same licensing terms as the Apache Lucene code.
