Doesn't this cause a problem for highly interactive and large indexes? Since every update to the index requires the rewriting of the norms, and constructing a new array.
The original complaint was primarily about search-time memory size, not update speed. I like the proposed patch which addresses both. I was simply noting that there is a way, without patching, to address the memory issue.
How expensive is the maintining of the norms on disk, at least in regards to index merging?
Norm processing is simple & fast. But with thousands of rarely used fields it could become a significant factor in update speed. As with all performance questions, the answer requires benchmarking.
