 Review comment:
   > You save the count() but the count() isn't particularly expensive.
   
   But I test the performance but it seem that `count` can not be ignored, 
since the following computation of threshold has similar cost.
   
   But I think we do not need top-K any more, since:
   1, the quantile and count can be accumulated together, I will send a PR for 
it;
   2, exact NN candidates is not a good choice as a `recall` step;
