For example, a snapshot taken by OpenSearch 2.11 or earlier can continue to be restored even after upgrading to 2.12. If you have an old snapshot taken from an older major OpenSearch version, you can restore it into an intermediate cluster on one major version newer than the snapshot's version, reindex all indexes, take a new snapshot, and repeat until you arrive at your desired major version, but you might find it easier to manually index your data in the new cluster.
