Hi All Currently I am using document.setBoost for setting a boost proportionate to some other parameter. For ex: p is my parameter whose value is 5.0f I am using document.setBoost(p) for making this p as a boost for this document. But since document.boost gets encoded inside norms array, so I am forced to store the norms array for all the fields in my document and as a result I am wasting space of 2 bytes for two fields for which I dont need any length normalization and stuff. And also my parameter p does not exist for all the documents in the index. So now if I have million documents and only 2% has this parameter p then I am storing 980,000*3 extra bytes considering there are 3 fields in my document. So what should I do considering the space considerations in my context.
Regards Narendra
