Summary
We need to support normalization of vector arrays to perform faster compute. However, this will essentially always create larger arrays on disk. This is a hack specifically for
L2Denormthat will allow us write normalized vector arrays to disk.Given that writing scalar fn arrays to disk is already gated by an environment variable and the unstable encodings feature flag, I think this hack is fine for now.
Testing
This just allows some arrays that are larger than canonical.
