Is it possible to see which version of elasticsearch an index was created with?

Yes, this is recorded in the index settings:

```auto
GET /i/_settings
# at 2018-11-22T17:21:05.813Z
# curl 'http://localhost:9200/i/_settings'

# ----------------------------------------
# Response:
# 200 OK
# {
# "i": {
# "settings": {
# "index": {
# "provided_name": "i",
# "number_of_shards": "1",
# "uuid": "IymFxH1AS_ivXlVRNuaU3g",
# "number_of_replicas": "0",
# "version": {
# "created": "6020499"
# },
# "creation_date": "1542906626369"
# }
# }
# }
# }

```

`6020499` means version `6.2.4` (and the `99` just means it's a release version)
