Shon Vella commented on LUCENE-1604:
------------------------------------

This is similar to LUCENE-505, but applies to all readers, not just MultiReader and proposes a different, less complex solution. Attaching preliminary patch.

> Creating and keeping around huge arrays that hold a constant value is very inefficient both from a heap usage standpoint and from a localility of reference standpoint. It would be much more efficient to use null to represent a missing norms table.
