Hi,
I am experimenting with the Lucene trunk (aka 4.0), especially with the new
IndexDocValues feature. I am trying to store some query-independent statistics
such as PageRank, etc. One stat that I am trying to store is the sum of all the
term frequencies in a document. This can be seen as the document length. Is
there a way to pre-compute this sum while performing the indexing?
Thank you,
h.
