I've got to admit I'd discounted gluster mainly because I've never touched it before and assumed the learning curve would distract me from what I actually want to be doing (getting a reasonably functional cluster to use as a target for programming against the REST API).

Is the gluster support reasonably straightforward out of the box? If so I might give that a go and see how it pans out.
