Re: Do i need to reindex after changing similarity setting

Hi Walter,

I read the following line in reference docs, what does it mean by as long
as the global similarity allows it:

"

A field type may optionally specify a <similarity/> that will be used when
scoring documents that refer to fields with this type, as long as the
"global" similarity for the collection allows it.
"

Re: Do i need to reindex after changing similarity setting

This JIRA also throws some light. There is a discussion of encoding norm
during indexing. The contributor eventually comments that "norms" encoded
by different similarity are compatible to each other.
