Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1604:
--------------------------------------------
bq. ferreting out all the tests that need to be duplicated with it on and with
it off could get very tedious.
I don't think you need to dup all tests w/ on & off. If you can get Lucene's
tests to pass when [temporarily] hardwiring it to on (ie, allowed to return
null), I think that's fine? Then, for the duration up until 2.9, we're testing
the "off" case, and when we flip it in 3.0, we're testing the "on" case.

> Creating and keeping around huge arrays that hold a constant value is very
> inefficient both from a heap usage standpoint and from a localility of
> reference standpoint. It would be much more efficient to use null to
> represent a missing norms table.
