The program heketi-cli was at first created as a sample application for developers, but now that we will be working on it to be used by users, I am not sure if the name is appropriate, and is probably confusing.  My question is, should the program still be called "heketi-cli"?.  I am thinking it should be called something along the lines of GlusterFS-family-like program:

Should we drop volume and replace it with something more abstract like 
'storage-pool' or 'share'? That way we will have the flexibility to map 
heketi volumes to appropriate entities in gluster 
(volumes/directories/files) without causing confusion.

If we use one such term, we could have it extend gluster CLI as:

#gluster storage-pool create foo 10TB

Users could find this scheme more intuitive because of familiarity with 
gluster CLI.
