Hi all,
I've been looking without success for a simple explanation of the
effect of omitNorms=false for a text field. Can someone point me to
the relevant doc?
The length of the field, as well as field and document boosts, will
not affect the doc score. This is usually a bad thing for fields of
variable length.
What is the effect of omitNorms=false on index size and query
performance for say 200K documents that have s single large text
field that ranges from maybe 30K up to around 800K? Do I want
omitNorms=true or false?
200K bytes, no effect on performance (unless you are livin' on a crazy
memory edge).
