 index. This means that snapshots can only be restored to versions of
 Elasticsearch that can read the indices:

 * A snapshot of an index created in 5.x can be restored to 6.x.
 * A snapshot of an index created in 2.x can be restored to 5.x.
 * A snapshot of an index created in 1.x can be restored to 2.x.
 
 Conversely, snapshots of indices created in 1.x **cannot** be restored to 5.x

 Each snapshot can contain indices created in various versions of Elasticsearch,
 and when restoring a snapshot it must be possible to restore all of the indices
