!!! warning

    This version is not recommended for production use due to the following critical issues found in MongoDB Community: [WT-7984](https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/WT-7984) and [WT-7995](https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/WT-7995). They are fixed in [MongoDB 4.4.9 Community Edition](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/release-notes/4.4/#4.4.9---sep-21--2021) and [Percona Server for MongoDB 4.4.9-10](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server-for-mongodb/4.4/release_notes/4.4.9-10.html). Percona Distribution for MongoDB 4.4.9 includes these fixes too.

    We recommend you to [upgrade](minor-upgrade.md#minor-upgrade) to Percona Distribution for MongoDB 4.4.9-10 as soon as possible and run the [validate](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/command/validate/) command on every collection on every replica set node.
