Description

While looking at SOLR-13289 I noticed this situation. If I create a collector with numHits greater than totalHitsThreshold, and the number of hits in the query is somewhere between those two numbers, the collector’s totalHitRelation will be TotalHits.Relation.GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO, however the count will be accurate in this case. While this doesn't violate the current contract, the totalHitRelation could be changed to TotalHits.Relation.EQUAL_TO
