Review Comment:
   @javanna `getSlices()` was kept as a convenience method to handle the null 
executor case such that usage in `IndexSearcher` doesn't have to explicitly 
perform check for both `executor` being `null` and return value of 
`leafSlices`. 
   This method will be useful if consumer wants to know the slices created by 
the provider or the count of slices. For example: In OpenSearch, we are using 
this method to emit a metric around slice count per searcher which can give 
indication around if a search request is getting too many slices and if we need 
to adjust that by providing some other slice provider.
   
   Also `slices()` method was kept protected such that extensions can provide 
their own implementation of it to control how `slices` are generated.
