Hi. I'm indexing about 20,000 documents that could potentially have a few thousand fields with the same field name. I've read in the mailing list archives that there is no hard limit to the number of fields in a document, but that storing norms can be a problem because of the RAM overhead.
I don't plan to boost documents or this particular set of like-named fields, so I think I can index them with ANALYZED_NO_NORMS. But will this cause a problem with scoring if I want to boost other fields in the same document? Thanks!
