+== Breaking changes in 6.0
+
+This section discusses the changes that you need to be aware of when migrating
+your application to Elasticsearch 6.0.
+
+[float]
+=== Indices created before 6.0
+
+Elasticsearch 6.0 can read indices created in version 5.0 or above.  An
+Elasticsearch 6.0 node will not start in the presence of indices created in a
+version of Elasticsearch before 5.0.
+
+[IMPORTANT]
+.Reindex indices from Elasticseach 2.x or before
+=========================================
+
+Indices created in Elasticsearch 2.x or before will need to be reindexed with
+Elasticsearch 5.x in order to be readable by Elasticsearch 6.x. The easiest
+way to reindex old indices is to use the `reindex` API.
