> {{SimilarityBase.computeNorm}} Javadoc indicates that the doc length should 
> be encoded in the same way as {{TFIDFSimilarity}}. However, when 
> {{discountOverlaps}} is {{false}}, what gets encoded is 
> {{SmallFloat.floatToByte315((boost / (float) Math.sqrt(docLen / boost)));}} 
> rather than  {{SmallFloat.floatToByte315((boost / (float) 
> Math.sqrt(length)));}} due to the extra {{/ state.getBoost()}} term in 
> {{SimilarityBase.computeNorm}}: 
>   final float numTerms;
>   if (discountOverlaps)
>     numTerms = state.getLength() - state.getNumOverlap();
>   else
>     numTerms = state.getLength() */ state.getBoost();*
>   return encodeNormValue(state.getBoost(), numTerms);
