Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-3140:
------------------------------------
Although length normalization on StringType fields *could* be useful, we should
think about the best default. The user can always switch it of course.
But on the other hand, the "string" type defined by the example schema already
specifies omitNorms=true, and as long as we don't change that I don't think the
default for the java class is a big deal either way. Keeping it the same has
the slight benefit of making it easier for the minority of people who defined
their own string fields and purposely wanted norms.
> Make omitNorms default for all numeric field types

> Today norms are enabled for all Solr field types by default, while in Lucene
> norms are omitted for the numeric types.
> Propose to make the Solr defaults the same as in Lucene, so that if someone
> occasionally wants index-side boost for a numeric field type they must say
> omitNorms="false". This lets us simplify the example schema too.
