Description

« Hide

I've written a little tool that seems like it can/will be very handy as I tweak my custom similarity. I think it would make a good addition to contrib/miscellaneous.

Class and Tests to be attached shortly...

Class with utility function, and main that calls it on an FSDirectory. Also test cases for the utility function using a RAMDirectory

Looks good! Should this be in the index package?

You could even optionally reconstruct the boost if you wanted to (to the precision allowed by the 8 bit float at least) by using the original Similarity to calculate what the lengthNorm is alone, and comparing against the actual norm.

FYI: I picked the package to match the other classes in contrib/miscellaneous ... I don't think it matters very much what package it lives in.

As for reconstructing the boost: It's possible, but this met my needs and I've got some bigger things to worry about at the moment.
