If I follow your approach, and produce the avg(outside of Lucene) while I 'm building the index(due to performance reasons I can't wait for all the documents to arrive before indexing them) for a collection, the avg will be ready only when all the documents of the collection are indexed. Lucene states that the new similarity class must be set in IndexWriter.setSimilarity(), and be used while I build the index, and in this time the avg isn't ready yet. Is there a way to overcome this? And if not calculating the score while the index is being created, and only when searching the index, what will the consequence in performance be?
