Actually Lucene terms can be arbitrary/fully binary tokens in the
low-level postings APIs.
It's just that our analysis APIs are geared towards analyzing text,
but using StringField you can easily index an arbitrary single-token
byte[].

You are correct that Lucene only works with text (no binary or primitives),
Base64 would be the way I would suggest.

Aha! My version of Lucene was out of date. That should work perfectly.

StringField now also takes a BytesRef value to index, so you can index
a single binary token that way. Does that work?

As far as I can tell the Lucene API does not support indexing binary data,
and I was looking into Base64 encoding the key. Is there a
