If you use RHEL, you probably should also use Red Hat Gluster Storage.
The upcoming RHGS 3.3 release will have glusterfs-3.10.x included.

As an alternative, you can use the packages from the CentOS Storage SIG.
This requires you to enable the CentOS Extras repository, after which
you can:

  # yum install centos-release-gluster
  # yum install glusterfs-fuse

I'm not sure what the best way is to enable CentOS Extras on a RHEL
system though... It you're experimenting, you could add this yum repo
definition (from centos-release-7-3.1611.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm that
contains /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo):

/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Extras.repo:

  # gpgcheck disabled, need to get the signing key from centos-release
  #additional packages that may be useful
  [extras]
  name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras
  mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=extras&infra=$infra
  #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/extras/$basearch/
  gpgcheck=0
  gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7


Note that CentOS Extras contain a few dependencies that some of the
Gluster addons expect to be available. Most Gluster packages will work
without it though.

HTH,
