What

Adds an explanation to the minTargetHits reference entry in yql.html covering the exact per-node resolution formula (max(minTargetHits, ceil(totalTargetHits × share))), that share is relative to the node's group rather than the whole cluster, and a note on the common pitfall where minTargetHits silently overrides totalTargetHits after moving to a grouped topology.

Why

Customers migrating to grouped content clusters had to ask twice, and needed direct engineering input, to understand how totalTargetHits and minTargetHits resolve to a per-node value and why the denominator is the group's node count, not the cluster's. The reference page did not state the formula or the topology-dependent pitfall, so support had to explain it ad hoc each time.

…tion

Customers on SUPPORT-779 had to ask twice, and needed engineering to clarify,
how totalTargetHits and minTargetHits resolve to a per-node target hits value,
and why the node's document share is relative to its group rather than the
whole cluster. The existing reference entry did not state the formula or the
common pitfall where minTargetHits silently overrides totalTargetHits after
moving to a grouped topology.
