This feature is not in 3.3.0beta. You have to checkout the GIT head (master
branch).

Try not to come up with manual configuration, as it would be hard to support
that in long run. In 3.3.0 release, it should be possible to have
distribute-stripe-replica too. But for your setup, it will be requiring lot
of bricks (as per your description, you would need 12 x 6 x 3 = 216 bricks).
