We are currently multiplying a set of normalized values during queries by using the fact that log(a\*b) = log(a) + log(b):

```
{
  "field_value_factor": {
    "field": "keywords_en.score",
    "factor": 1,
    "modifier": "log"
  }
}

```

This will cause negative values which triggers a deprecation warning (and an error in 7.0)

How can we continue to do what basically amounts to multiplied scores in 7.0?
