Accessing ApacheDS database directly

We've got ApacheDS embedded into our product and now it's time to start looking to the next release.  
 
In the next release we would like to be able to edit some of the data in the LDAP database while doing an upgrade, however, since we're doing an upgrade, the database server shouldn't be up because we're in the process of replacing files, etc.  
 
How hard would it be to access the Database Backend directly.  How advisable is this?  Is it a published API that would be somewhat stable, or are we hacking where we shouldn't.  
 
Anyone have any hints on where in the source tree to look for these backend classes?
 
Thanks.
