I'm getting a NullPointerException when using collation during spell check. 
This is the message I'm getting: Exception trying to re-query to check if a 
spell check possibility would return any hits.

My spell check config for this search handler:
            <str name="spellcheck">on</str>
            <str name="spellcheck.dictionary">suggest</str>
            <str name="spellcheck.extendedResults">false</str>
            <str name="spellcheck.count">5</str>
            <str name="spellcheck.alternativeTermCount">2</str>
            <str name="spellcheck.maxResultsForSuggest">3</str>
            <str name="spellcheck.collate">true</str>
            <str name="spellcheck.collateExtendedResults">true</str>
            <str name="spellcheck.maxCollationTries">5</str>
            <str name="spellcheck.maxCollations">3</str>

The field "suggest" is a field in the index, which is also (usually) queried 
with this search handler. The field is filled with lots of data created by edge 
ngrams, since it's intended usage is for an autocomplete field.

This issue is very similar to SOLR-8807, but the NPE is occurring one line in 
the code later 
(solr\core\src\java\org\apache\solr\spelling\SpellCheckCollator.java). As a 
result the patch attached to that issue probably won't work in my case.

        try {
          queryComponent.prepare(checkResponse);
          if (docCollectionLimit > 0) {
            int f = checkResponse.getFieldFlags();
            checkResponse.setFieldFlags(f |= 
SolrIndexSearcher.TERMINATE_EARLY);            
          }
          queryComponent.process(checkResponse);
          hits = (Integer) checkResponse.rsp.getToLog().get("hits");
        } catch (EarlyTerminatingCollectorException etce) {

Although I'm using Solr 6.2.1, the source file is still identical to Solr 6.5.0.

The line causing my exception is when determining the hits. I've noticed the 
exception only occurs when no more than 2 alternatives are found, but when 3 
alternatives (maxCollations) are found, the NPE isn't occurring.

As a workaround I could live for now with turning collations off.

Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks!
