I’m not quite done with my test upgrade to ovirt 4.3.x with gluster 5.5, but so 
far it’s looking good. I have NOT encountered the upgrade bugs listed as 
resolved in the 5.5 release notes. Strahil, I didn’t encounter the brick death 
issue and don’t have a bug ID handy for it, but so far I haven’t had any bricks 
die. I’m moving the last node of my hyperconverged test environment over today, 
and will followup again tomorrow on it.

Separately, I upgraded my production nodes from ovirt 4.3.1 to 4.3.2 (they have 
a separate gluster server cluster which is still on 3.12.15), which seems to 
have moved to the gluster 5.3.2 release. While 5.3.0 clients were not having 
any trouble talking to my 3.12.15 servers, 5.3.2 hit 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1651246 
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1651246>, causing disconnects to 
one of my servers (but only one, oddly enough), raising the load on my other 
two servers and causing a lot of continuous healing. This lead to some 
stability issues with my hosted engine and general sluggishness of the ovirt 
UI. I also experienced problems migrating from 4.3.1 nodes, but that seems to 
have been related to the underlying gluster issues, as it seems to have cleared 
up onceI resolved the gluster problems. Since I was testing gluster 5.5 
already, I moved my nodes to gluster 5.5 (instead of rolling them back) as the 
bug above was resolved in that version. That did the trick, and my cluster is 
back to normal and behaving properly again.

So my gluster 5.5 experience has been positive so far, and it looks like 5.3 is 
a version for laying down and avoiding. I’ll update again tomorrow, and then 
flag the centos maintainers about 5.5 stability so it gets out of the -testing 
repo if all continues to go well.
