How to choose the Glusterfs version before you wrote multiple blog posts: How to choose the Glusterfs version of--20160705 Edition.

It's time to translate today. Gluster Release Notes (schedule), take this opportunity to add how to choose the Glusterfs version, because the latest version is not actually deployed online, some of the actual deployment experience of the group of Friends:

It is not necessary to use the Erasure volume feature to recommend the latest version of version 3.6:

Version 3.6 was discontinued in 2016-11-23, but the 3.6 last iteration was released in 2016-2-29, the equivalent of not releasing a new iteration for up to 9 months, stating that the last release of 3.6. The 9 version is almost free of major bugs and can be used with confidence.

we recommend using the 3.7 version of the latest edition for features such as erasure volume:

Version 3.7 is the last stable version of the Gluster release, although it is not labeled as a long-term support for the LTM version, but is actually more time-supported than the latest LTM version, with the latest version of the LTM life cycle of 1 years, and the previous stable version life cycle is 2 years, so from this point of view, The previous stable version would theoretically be more stable than the later version of the LTM.

The current 3.7 version of the latest version of 3.7.18, on the erasure of the volume is already quite stable (based on QQ Group 234901333 Group of Friends Online practice), can be assured to use.

About the 3.8 version, before the article mentioned some, new add a lot of features, release time is relatively short, not recommended for online use.
