    Description

      As per KB link https://mariadb.com/kb/en/upgrading-between-major-mariadb-versions/

      One can upgrade from MariaDB 5.5 to the latest MariaDB version without any trouble. All older versions should work too (as long as the storage engines you were using are still around). But found direct upgrade will not take care of data dictionary mysql.user table structure.

      Newly installed MariaDB servers 10.3.22 have following in mysql.user

       
      plugin` char(64) CHARACTER SET latin1 NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
      `authentication_string` text COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL,
      

      MariaDB servers direct upgrade from 5.2.12 to 10.3.22 (skipping 5.5.68 ) have a difference in mysql.user

      `plugin` char(60) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
      `auth_string` text COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL,
      

      Difference found mainly for Two columns while up-gradation from 5.2.X to 10.3.X while going through MariaDB 5.6.XX version.
