Yes. It is possible.

Authentication is currently turned off.  You can expect updates on 
Authentication soon.

You are right. gluster-swift is still needed. But, it is part of Docker 
container.
All gluster-swift processes are running inside Docker container in order 
to provide Object interface.
Docker container accesses Gluster volume to access (get/put) objects.

We are working on a custom solution which will avoids gluster-swift 
altogether.
We will update here once it is ready. Stay tuned.
