Re: Question about .f1, .f2, etc. files in index directory

[Doug Cutting]

Yes.  The .f[0...] files are indeed the norm files.  There is one file 
for each indexed field and each file contains a one-byte normalization 
factor for each document.

This is a documentation bug.  There is no .nrm file with per-document 
normalization files, rather multiple .f files, one per indexed field.

Was reading http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene/docs/fileformats.html and noticed that files .f1, f2, ... are not mentioned, but a file called .nrm is.

Are the .f1, .f2, ... files that are created in my index directory by DocumentWriter.writeNorms(Document doc, String segment) the .nrm file that is documented in the section called Normalization Factors? That is what it looked like, just wanted a confirmation from the experts before I commit that to my documentation for my internal Lucene implementation.

Thanks,
Eric
