Ok thanks,
maybe i understood. I will try to store the field length in a Map in my
custom Similarity and then pick them with
a getLength() method and then divide it by the number of docs so i can have
the average length of a field.
thank you

FieldInvertState is passed to Similarity.computeNorm, as Robert said.
So your custom Similarity just has to override computeNorm(String
field, FieldInvertState state) and can extract whatever it wants from
the FieldInvertState passed in.

Ok. I need to use this class to get length of a given field at index time to
pass it as parameter to the computeNorm method from a custom Similarity.
The issue is that i don't know how to get a FieldInvertState object and
precisely i didn't understand if I have to create and populate it myself o
