Currently, only read support is provided to indexes created in 5.x. As someone who used one of their pre-GA releases, they previously had a flag to enable multiple mapping types.

Hmmm. Is it read only? If so, the documentation here [1] is off:

> Elasticsearch 6.x

>> Indices created in 5.x will continue to function in 6.x as they did in 5.x.

A quick ask to the Elasticsearch developers confirms 6.0 can both read & write to indices created in 5.x.
