    - #### CoveringQuery

          public CoveringQuery(Collection<Query> queries,
                               LongValuesSource minimumNumberMatch)

      Sole constructor.
      Parameters:
        `queries` - Sub queries to match.
        `minimumNumberMatch` - Per-document long value that records how many queries should match. Values that are less than 1 are treated like `1`: only documents that have at least one matching clause will be considered matches. Documents that do not have a value for `minimumNumberMatch` do not match.
