Description

As discussed on LUCENE-8060, we should make TopScoreDocCollector and TopFieldCollector take a minimum hit count to compute rather than a boolean that says whether or not to track hits. This will help implement simple pagination or give a sense of the fact that there are "plenty" of hits.
