Hoss Man commented on LUCENE-1260:
----------------------------------
bq. My use case is really about document boost and not normalization.
bq. So another solution to this is to introduce a (variable bit sized?)
document boost file and completely separate it from the norms instead...
1) "norms" is a vague term. currently "lengthNorm" is folded in with "field
boosts" and "doc boosts" to form a generic "fieldNorm" ... I assumed you were
interested in a more general way to improve the resolution of "fieldNorm"
2) your description of general purpose variable sized document boosting sounds
exactly like LUCENE-1231 ... in the long run utilities using LUCENE-1231 (or
something like it) to replace "field boosts" and "length norms" might make the
most sense as a way to eliminate the current static Norm encoding and put more
flexibility in the hands of users

> The static span and resolution of the 8 bit norms codec might not fit with
> all applications.
> My use case requires that 100f-250f is discretized in 60 bags instead of the
> default.. 10?
