Hi,
When adding a field to a document, Field.Index gives me four options: NO,
NO_NORMS, TOKENIZED and UN_TOKENIZED.
NO_NORMS means, according to the documentation "index the field's value
without an Analyzer, and disable the storing of norms."
What can I do if I want to index the field's value *with* an Analyzer, but
still disable the storing of norms (because the field length should not be
considered in scoring)?
That works fine.
Can't I do that? Was this intentional, or is this
an oversight and a fifth option should be added?
Yes, that was intentional.
see http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-448
I hadn't added a Field.Index option at all, and Doug suggested
NO_NORMS, probably because it's mostly harmless to new users who might
disable length normalization without realizing the implications.
For other fields, I prefer use of setOmitNorms()
