   If I read correctly, this query ends up calling 
`LeafReader#searchNearestNeighbors` with k=Integer.MAX_VALUE, which will not 
only run in O(maxDoc) time but also use O(maxDoc) memory. I don't think we 
should do this.
   
   In my opinion, there are two options: either we force this query to take a 
`k` parameter and make it only return the top `k` nearest neighbors that are 
also within the radius. Or we make it always run in "exact" mode with a 
two-phase iterator that performs the similary check in 
`TwoPhaseIterator#matches()`. We'd then need to prefix this query with `Slow` 
like other queries that work similarly.
