=== Supported configurations
Generally, <<gateway-nodes-selection, cross cluster search>> can search remote
clusters that are one major version ahead or behind the coordinating node's
version. Cross cluster search can also search remote clusters that are being
<<rolling-upgrades, upgraded>> so long as both the "upgrade from" and
"upgrade to" version are compatible with the gateway node.
For example, a coordinating node running {es} 5.6 can search a remote cluster
running {es} 6.8, but that cluster can not be upgraded to 7.1. In this case
you should first upgrade the coordinating node to 7.1 and then upgrade remote
cluster.
WARNING: Running multiple versions of {es} in the same cluster beyond the
duration of an upgrade is not supported.
