Are the norms a good approximation for you ? If you preserve norms at indexing time ( it is a configuration that you can operate in the schema.xml) you can retrieve them with this specific function query :
*norm(field)* Returns the "norm" stored in the index for the specified field. This is the product of the index time boost and the length normalization factor, according to the Similarity for the field. norm(fieldName) This will not be the exact length of the field, but it can be a good approximation though.
