Yes, that was may opinion when reading the java docs. I wanted to be sure. In principle we could write down somewhere, that disabling norms is good for not-analyzed fields like document identifiers, numbers,.... Such a field do not need norms, as e.g. the document identifier is only used for searching for only the document or sorting or something like that. So in my opinion, the best default for non-analyzed fields is to use no norms, right?
