My elasticsearch version is so old (1.6.0).  
I want to upgrade this to 6.4.2v !!  
But I guess both snapshot type was different ☹

I've tried 2ways to solve this problem.

1. make snapshot on 1.6.0v

- And move that to 6.4.2v backup repository
- But ES(6.4.2v) could not recognize snapshot from 1.6.0v

1. make json file from 1.6.0

- But I failed to make it because 'elasticdump' did not work well ☹

Anybody helps me plz

First go to 7.1.1 instead.

Try reindex from remote. May be it can read your old data.  
Try logstash with elasticsearch input and output plugins.
