Unfotunately, it is necessary to look for rewritten norm-files. If a segment
uses a compound file and its norms are changed by setNorm, the new norm-values
cannot be included into the compound file. You cannot write to a compound file
after it has been generated. The new norm-values end up in separate
files and do not get into the compound file before the next merge.

IndexReader allows to rewrite norms. As far as I remember this is needed
by Nutch to adapt scores to additional information from the link database.
That's what Doug explained to me some time ago.

I currently don't see an easy way to get rid of the described inefficiency.
Definitely, the patch cannot be applied.
