Gluster has been slowly declining for a while. It used to be sponsored by RedHat, but tha stopped a few years ago. Since then, development slowed significantly.
I used to keep a large cluster array with Gluster+ZFS (1.5PB), and I can’t say I was ever really that impressed with the performance. That said — I really didn’t have enough horizontal scaling to make it worthwhile from a performance aspect. For us, it was mainly used to make a union file system.
But, I can’t say I’d recommend it for anything new.
