Hi,
We are doing production deployment ande I have tested 3.12.4 and found okay
to proceed. But we have decided to use tiering feature at the last minute.
But something is not right or missing with tiering feature in 3.12.4 and
hence, I'm thinking of using higher versions which may have fixed bugs with
tiering. But we don't have enough time to test it completely for other
possible issues for production deployment. So, I'm checking for a safest
version with stable tiering feature.
Consolidating the files to a backup storage and restoring them is not
efficient or feasible option for us, as we have terabytes of small file
data which can take huge times..so, downgrading or upgrading is something
we can't do so often but only with a scheduled downtime. Hence, trying
version 5 and falling back is not preferred option for us.
Regards,
Jeevan.
Post by Jeevan PatnaikHi Vlad,
I'm still confused of gluster releases. :(
Is 3.13 an official gluster release? It's not mentioned in
www.gluster.org/release-schedule
Which is more stable 3.13.2 or 3.12.6 or 4.1.5?
3.13.2 was released in Jan and no minor releases since then..So, I expect
it's a stable release. or maybe noone has used it enough to report bugs?
I understand we may see bugs even in the most stable version while using
it. I'm looking for a version thats safe to use with least chance of
corrupting or loosing our files.
I'm set to test 3.13.2 tiering feature, but have my thoughts about if
3.12.6 or 4.1.5 should be tested instead.

Jeevan.
If you doing replica - start with 5, run your load on it. You can always
fallback to 3.12 or 4. It is not like your files will be gone.
With distributed might be harder, files will still be on the bricks but
you will have to consolidate them or copy in to new volume after downgrade.
Documentation is all the same.

Post by Jeevan PatnaikHi Vlad,
Can gluster 4.1.5 too be used for production? There's no documentation
for gluster 4.

Post by Jeevan PatnaikHi All,
I see gluster 3 has reached end of life and gluster 5 has just been
introduced.
Is gluster 4.1.5 stable enough for production deployment? I see by
default gluster docs point to v3 only and there are no gluster docs
for 4 or 5. Why so? And I'm mainly looking for a stable gluster tiering
feature and Kernek NFS support. I faced few issues with tiering in 3.14 and
so thinking if I should switch to 4.1.5, as it will be a production
deployment.
Thank you.
Regards,
Jeevan.
