> The residue is the count of all categories that did not make it to the top K.
> But, this is a senseless statistic. Take for example the following case: two
> documents with categories [A/1, A/2, A/3] and [A/1, A/4, A/5]. If you ask for
> top-1 category of "A", you'll get A (count=2), A/1 (count=2), but A's residue
> will be 4!
> As a user, that number doesn't tell you anything, except maybe when you index
> only one category per document for a given dimension. But in that case, the
> residue is {{root.value - sum(topK.value)}}, which the application can
> compute if it needs to.
> In short, we're just wasting CPU cycles for that statistic, so I'm going to
> remove it.
