Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm curious about the different 'families' of GlusterFS (3.4, 3.5 &<br>
3.6). What's the differences between them and how do I know which one<br>
will be most suitable for my application (depending on if I<br>
prioritize robustness or lots of features)?<br>
</blockquote>
Hmm, this is might help from the robustness/features perspective: :)<br>
<br>
* 3.4.x series has been around for ages now, so is pretty battle<br>
tested. We still release patch versions for this for important<br>
bugs which show up.<br>
</blockquote></span>
3.4 has some, imho, critical known bugs with fixes that have already been applied to 3.5 and were not backported. For this lack of support I no longer recommend 3.4.<span class=""><br>

<br>
* 3.5.x series has been around a while as well, and is also pretty<br>
well tested by now. It has more features / and several internal<br>
optimisations/improvements over the 3.4.x series. We release<br>
patches for this series too for important bugs that show up.<br>
</blockquote></span>
This is the version I currently recommend.<span class=""><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
* 3.6.x series just came out. It's our latest and greatest feature<br>
set, but may be a bit "bleeding edge" until the next patch release<br>
(3.6.2), which should be coming out soon.<br>
</blockquote></span>
I'm still waiting on significant reports of success before I'll recommend 3.6. I also watch for bugs that can only be fixed in this release, or lack of support for prior releases, or significant improvements in usability before I upgrade my recommendations.<span class="im HOEnZb"><br>

This makes me realise we really need a version/features table on the<br>
website, with ticks and crosses to show which version of GlusterFS<br>
added what. :D<br>
