Review Comment:
   > This vectorToOrd argument feels specific to the current implementation. 
Could the API work on doc IDs?
   
   Even regular TopK needs access to the ordinal->docId transformation because 
the vector storage could be sparse and eagerly transforming ordinal->docId 
would add unnecessary overhead. TopK only needs to do the transformation from 
ordinal->docId when it builds the topdocs result set. 
   
   ToParentJoin needs the docId to compare against the parent bitset. I can see 
if there is a better way to get the ord->doc transformation into ToParentJoin 
without hurting sparse vector search performance.
