Elasticsearch 2.4 officially reached its end of life in february 2018, and Elasticsearch 5.2 on 2018-06-08, according to this document: https://www.elastic.co/support/eol
The Elasticsearch integration in Search 5 was experimental, so dropping such support for outdated versions of Elasticsearch is not outrageously unexpected.
Also, users migrating to Search 6 will be able to first migrate do ES 5.6, then upgrade to Search 6.
TO DO:
* In particular, remove any trace of ES 5.5 and below in the POMs, Jenkinsfile, .travis.yml. * Also remove any trace of ES 5.5 and below in the main code. * Maybe keep it in the legacy code, for future reference? Guillaume Smet [~gsmet] WDYT?
