The problem with this is that the Directory interface really looks like a 
file system; you could store the files in a database, which might make them 
more accessible, but would probably be slower performance as Lucene wants 
to be able to do random-access on those files.

The CachingDirectory approach would help, as then segments would be read 
out o the database once and then cached, but I suspect that this approach 
is not as useful as it might appear.

I'd like to see Directory enhanced to make it easier to store index 
information in a database, but that's a separate issue.
