==== Indices created before 7.0

Elasticsearch 8.0 can read indices created in version 7.0 or above.  An
Elasticsearch 8.0 node will not start in the presence of indices created in a
version of Elasticsearch before 7.0.

[IMPORTANT]
.Reindex indices from Elasticsearch 6.x or before
=========================================

Indices created in Elasticsearch 6.x or before will need to be reindexed with
Elasticsearch 7.x in order to be readable by Elasticsearch 8.x.
