There is nothing stopping you from doing that as long as lucene allows
it. However, some (or most) of the fields are there for internal
purpose and it might not be wise to mess with them. Also, lucene does
not allow updating of documents - you have to delete and re-add
documents and this might not work flawlessly with beagle.

No.

You mean using beagle python API ? Then the answer is no. Python
itself could have some API to compute file CRC.
