There is a small problem in your problem formulation and Lucene, Lucene don't count words, you count terms based on an Analyzer that you have defined during a phase called IndexWriting, such analyzer will tokenize (which does not means use the white space between the words) a sequence of strings that are transformed internally on an array of bytes.
This means that Lucene is not designed to perform word count at prior, unless you define an analyzer that aggregates on your stats (which occurs during the analysis "step" which means the sequence of string scanning) and "give up", be define on a terms list. You could the WC (@ https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/wc-invocation.html) command if your problem states just a simple word count. There is a manual for wc that might help you.
