[hibernate-dev] [HSEARCH] Proposal to change the default value of Field#norms()

Hi Emmanuel,

Sure. :-)

OK, I will do that. But creating patch will take some time.

Suppose you have following classes:

@Entity
public PostalAddress {

    @Id
    private String OID;
    .....
}

@Entity
@Indexed
public Partner {

    @Id
    private String OID;

    @OneToOne
    @IndexEmbedded(depth = 1)
    private PostalAddress defaultAddress;
   ....
}

The Lucene document for Partner would contain the field
OID from Partner indexed with NOT_ANALYZED_NO_NORMS
and it will contain also the field "defaultAddress.OID". But the
field "defaultAddress.OID" would have norms. This is what I see
at least with Luke in my indexes. I think the field "defaultAddress.OID"
should be also indexed with NOT_ANALYZED_NO_NORMS.
