This isn't easy to change; it's hardcoded, in oal.index.NormsWriter, to 1.0, and also in SegmentReader, to 1.0 (when the field doesn't have norms stored, but eg someone is requesting them anyway). 1.0 must encode to 124. I suppose we could empower Similarity to define what the "undefined norm value" should be? Wanna make a patch?
