​Hello, In *SimilarityBase.java*, I can see that the length of the document is is getting normalized by using the function *decodeNormValue()*. But I can't understand how the normalizations is done. Can you please help? Also, is there any way to avoid this doc-length normalization, to use the raw doc-length (as used in LM-JM Zhai et al. SIGIR-2001)?
Thanks.. P.S. I am using Lucene 4.10.4
