Calculating Average Document Length with Lucene

[Kasun Perera]

I want to calculate average document length for document collection which
each document having 3 different fields(filed1, field2,field3)

This is the program to calculate average length when only one field is
there.

private byte[] normsDocLengthArr = null;
private double avgDocLength;

normsDocLengthArr = indexReader.norms("filed1");

            //norms-Returns the byte-encoded normalization factor for
the named field of every document.
double sumLength = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < normsDocLengthArr.length; i++) {

    double encodeLength = DefaultSimilarity.decodeNorm(normsDocLengthArr[i]);

    //decodeNorm -Decodes a normalization factor stored in an index.

    double length = 1 / (encodeLength * encodeLength);

    sumLength += length;

}

this.avgDocLength = sumLength / normsDocLengthArr.length;

This is how I extended it for all 3 fields.

private byte[] normsDocLengthArrField1 = null;
private byte[] normsDocLengthArrField2 = null;
private byte[] normsDocLengthArrField3 = null;
private double avgDocLength;

normsDocLengthArrField1 = indexReader.norms("filed1");

normsDocLengthArrField2 = indexReader.norms("filed2");

normsDocLengthArrField3 = indexReader.norms("filed3");

            //norms-Returns the byte-encoded normalization factor for
the named field of every document.
double sumLength = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < normsDocLengthArrField1.length; i++) {

    double encodeLengthF1 =
DefaultSimilarity.decodeNorm(normsDocLengthArrField1[i]);

    double encodeLengthF2 =
DefaultSimilarity.decodeNorm(normsDocLengthArrField2[i]);

    double encodeLengthF3 =
DefaultSimilarity.decodeNorm(normsDocLengthArrField3[i]);

    //decodeNorm -Decodes a normalization factor stored in an index.

    double length = 1 / {(encodeLengthF1 *
encodeLengthF1)+(encodeLengthF2 * encodeLengthF2)+(encodeLengthF3 *
encodeLengthF3)};

    sumLength += length;

}

this.avgDocLength = sumLength / (normsDocLengthArrField1.length+
normsDocLengthArrField2.length+normsDocLengthArrField3.length;

I just want to know whether my implementation of calculating Doc average
length for 3 field is correct?
