This is getting beyond my level of expertise, but I'll have a go at
your questions. Hopefully someone better informed will step in with
corrections or confirmation.
...
The application calls the *writer.addDocument(d);* method and in this
process the *lengthNorm(String fieldName, int numTerms)* method is called.
I can extend the *DefaultSimilarity* class and override the
*lengthNorm*method, but how can I explicitly specify the
*numTerms* value?
I don't know that you can, but you don't have to use the value passed in.
...
Does *computeNorm* method is called for every field or is it only called for
analyzed fields?
All indexed fields, at a guess. Which can be analyzed or not.
The order we call *addDocument* and the order the *computeNorm *method is
called is the same ? Probably.
Is there is a possibility that I can access the *Document* object inside the
*Similiarity* class ?
Not that I know of via API calls. If you had your own Similarity
implementation, and methods are called in the order you expect, you
could add a setDoc(Document) method and/or a setCalcValue(n) method
and use them as you wished in your custom computeNorm() or
lengthNorm() code.

specifically computeNorm(String field, FieldInvertState state). There
is comprehensive info in the javadocs. Note that values are
calculated at indexing and stored in the index encoded, with some loss
of precision.

Hi All,
I want to change the length normalization calculation specific to my
application. By changing the "*number of terms*" according to my
requirement. The "*StandardTokenizer*" works perfectly for my
application,
However, the *number of terms* calculated by the tokenizer is not the
effective number of terms for the application. I have an mechanism to
calculate that value and I need to know how can I apply that value in length
normalization calculations.
Please advice.
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Lahiru.
