Hi, does below query ever work in Elasticsearch 5.x?
"inline": "doc['my\_field'] \* multiplier",
"params": {
"multiplier": 2
}
Whenever I use parameters in query I always got compile errors. The query is from documentation:

It turns out the Elasticsearch documentation is wrong, you should add "params." in front of the variables in order to access its values.
