When you say "omitnorms=true" for any fields it means SOLR will not store norms . AFAIK , if you do not store these norms then your index size would be smaller and will take less memory . You could safely omit these norms for smaller fields . i.e your indexing time is more.
So if you do not store norms you save the memory Norms are used to boosts and field length normalization during indexing time so that short document has higher score Turning the norms on/off may depend on your indexing size and implementations I hope this helps .. thanks On Thu, May 26, 2011 at 11:48 AM, Romi <romijain3...@gmail.com> wrote: > thanks for the link, i got lot information from this document.
