I now realize that in above-linked bug we only changed the default, for new setups. So if you deployed He before 4.3.5, upgrade to later 4.3 would not change the default (as opposed to upgrade to 4.4, which was actually a new deployment with engine backup/restore). Do you know which version your cluster was originally deployed with?
