Hi,
I'm curious about the different 'families' of GlusterFS (3.4, 3.5
3.6). What's the differences between them and how do I know which one
will be most suitable for my application (depending on if I
prioritize robustness or lots of features)?
Hmm, this is might help from the robustness/features perspective: :)
* 3.4.x series has been around for ages now, so is pretty battle
tested. We still release patch versions for this for important
bugs which show up.
* 3.5.x series has been around a while as well, and is also pretty
well tested by now. It has more features / and several internal
optimisations/improvements over the 3.4.x series. We release
patches for this series too for important bugs that show up.
* 3.6.x series just came out. It's our latest and greatest feature
set, but may be a bit bleeding edge until the next patch release
(3.6.2), which should be coming out soon.
This makes me realise we really need a version/features table on the
website, with ticks and crosses to show which version of GlusterFS
added what. :D
