Topic: Bundle.total field for search operations

For search response, it seems crucible require the Bundle.total field is populated, or otherwise the test fails with "Search bundle returned does not report a total entry count" error. However, the spec says "Bundle.total may be used to return the total number of resources that match the search...", indicating the field is not mandatory: https://www.hl7.org/fhir/bundle.html#searchset

@Jason Walonoski may want to comment. Seems like it would be good to dial down this requirement.

Technically, it may not be required, but searching and paging can be difficult as a client without numbers. Especially if you want to know the size of a cohort, for example. How many patients are there that meet these criteria? But as you say, it is not required. Attention @Robert Scanlon

I agree. Same with history. Tracking here https://github.com/fhir-crucible/plan_executor/issues/140
