Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-5978: -------------------------------------- +1 > don't write a norm of infinity when analyzer returns no tokens > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-5978 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5978 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Robert Muir > Attachments: LUCENE-5978.patch > > > When a document doesn't have the field, we fill with zero. when a segment > doesn't have the field, we also fill with zero. > however, when the analyzer doesn't return any terms for the field, we still > call similarity.computeNorm(0)... with the default similarity this encodes > infinity... -1 > in such a case, it doesnt really matter what the norm is, since it has no > terms. But its more efficient for e.g. compression if we consistently use > zero. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
