After upgrading ElasticSearch, APM-server and APM-agent-nodejs, Kibana fails to retrieve docs from ES with error "Courier Fetch: 5 of 36 shards failed.".

Using devtools I see this reply from \_msearch:

Hi Stian,

Thanks for your interest in APM!

There were some [breaking changes in apm-server](https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/blob/master/CHANGELOG.asciidoc#breaking-changes) between 6.1 and 6.2. It seems your indexes were created with 6.1, which is not compatible with Kibana 6.2.

Since 6.1 was a beta release for us, we don't provide a migration strategy. The easiest solution is to delete your apm\* indexes (note: you will lose all apm-related data) - this will cause them to be re-created with the new index mappings, and everything should work from there.

I hope this resolves the issue. Let me know if you have other questions.
