 Good point and thanks for the links. Here's a smoother one that adds a
 multiplier 0.75 to 1.0 when it's below 20. This one actually works with
 the script you gave. The values for the range filter `20` and the `offset`
 and `decay` can be further fine tuned. The decay can be increased to a
 higher value to lessen the impact of this filter.

         "field_value_factor": {
                 "field": "rating",
                 "factor": 0.25,
                 "modifier": "sqrt",
                 "missing": 2.5
         }
 },

                 "range": {
                         "num_ratings": {
                                 "lte": 20
                         }
                 }
         },

                 "num_ratings": {
                         "origin": 20,
                         "offset": 0,
                         "scale": 20,
                         "decay": 0.75
                 }
         }
 }
 }}}
