How did you create these indices that you are trying to read - using which version? The exception is a `IndexFormatTooNewException` - basically a complaint that the data you are trying to read is too new and written with another major version of Elasticsearch and Lucene. ---

Happy to hear you resolved your issue. However I am not sure sure that those two configuration are linked in any way to indices, so please take a look at your logs over the next couple of days to make sure everything works as expected. Thanks! ---
