Doron Cohen commented on LUCENE-1896:
-------------------------------------

I kinda like the modification of queryNorm to get Weight as parameter.
And I don't mind about it throwing an exception - besides being perhaps 
redundant, is it a real problem?
But in any case, perhaps this part (modifying the API) belongs to a separate 
issue?

Back to the original queryNorm discussion, thanks Mark and Hoss for the 
explanations - I just realized I did not fully understand the use of query 
norm. (Now I think I do, but I thought so too before this discussion.... :)) 

I am working on a patch to the large javadoc part in the top of Similarity - to 
show more tightly how the scoring formula described there today (which I think 
is accurate) evolves from VSM - something in the lines of Mark's description 
above. I hope to complete it over the weekend, and I hope the added text would 
also clear the confusion about the purpose and practice of the query norm.
