Description
The docs page for all version of snapshot / restore should explain the limitations in how they can be restored in the future.
You can restore indices that were created in the previous major version only. Indices that were created before the previous major version (even if they were snapshotted in the previous major version) cannot be restored.
Create an index in 2.x, snapshot it, restore in 5.x [supported]
Create an index in 1.x, snapshot it, restore in 2.x [supported]
Create an index in 1.x, snapshot it in 2.x, restore in 5.x [ NOT supported]
Create an index in 1.x, reindex it in 2.x, snapshot it in 2.x, restore in 5.x [supported]
