Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-8053:
-------------------------------------
frequencies can always be larger than the length because of synonym stacking
(discount_overlaps) so I'm not sure its worth doing this?
> Similarities should round the length up

> Key: LUCENE-8053
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8053
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Adrien Grand
> Priority: Minor
>
> The encoding that we use for lengths currently rounds down in case the length
> cannot be stored accurately. We should round up instead so that frequencies
> can never be larger than the length.
