/**
* An accumulator that selects the "top" {@code k} elements added to it, relative to a provided
* comparator. "Top" can mean the greatest or the lowest elements, specified in the factory used to
* create the {@code TopKSelector} instance.
*
* If your input data is available as a {@link Stream}, prefer passing {@link
* Comparators#least(int)} to {@link Stream#collect(java.util.stream.Collector)}. If it is available
* as an {@link Iterable} or {@link Iterator}, prefer {@link Ordering#leastOf(Iterable, int)}.
*
*
This uses the same efficient implementation as {@link Ordering#leastOf(Iterable, int)},
* offering expected O(n + k log k) performance (worst case O(n log k)) for n calls to {@link
* #offer} and a call to {@link #topK}, with O(k) memory. In comparison, quickselect has the same
* asymptotics but requires O(n) memory, and a {@code PriorityQueue} implementation takes O(n log
* k). In benchmarks, this implementation performs at least as well as either implementation, and
* degrades more gracefully for worst-case input.
*
*
The implementation does not necessarily use a stable sorting algorithm; when multiple
* equivalent elements are added to it, it is undefined which will come first in the output.
