+.Indices created in Elasticsearch 6.x and earlier versions are deprecated.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+In 8.x, {es} will only read indices created in version 7.0 or above. An 8.x node
+will not start in the presence of indices created in 6.x or earlier versions of
+{es}.
+
+*Impact* +
+Before upgrading to an 8.x version, reindex any index created in 6.x or earlier
+versions with {es} 7.x. If you no longer need the index, delete it instead.
+You can use the get index API to check the {es} version in which an index
+was created.
