A global boost on a `multi_field` mapping doesn't apply to descendent fields. Maybe this shouldn't be allowed, but it's not throwing an error when this mapping is created.

"title" : {
"type": "multi_field",
"boost": 2,
"fields": {
"title": {
"type": "string",
"analyzer": "standard"
},
"title_2": {
"type": "string",
"analyzer": "snowball"
}
}
},
