Moved to gluster-users then.

I can't help you with anything vagrant related until it properly
supports libvirt/kvm.

I think it's actually a F20 goal:

You know that your _private_ key is visible in that file, right?

Agreed.

See above about vagrant. Maybe after F20 is released.

This I'm happy to do.

I'm happy to work on this type of thing, but this sounds more like a
consulting or needs donations project. I only have 2 vm's to test
puppet/gluster on. bigdata probably implies > 20GiB :P

Have you looked at gluster::simple ?
https://github.com/purpleidea/puppet-gluster/blob/master/examples/gluster-simple-example.pp

AFAICT, that's all you need. My understanding is that you're just trying
to build a simple throw away cluster... Let me know if I misunderstood.
If you want to customize your volume further, you can use it like this:

class { '::gluster::simple':
	#path => '',	# defaults to $vardir/data/
	# NOTE: this can be a list...
	volume => ['hbase', 'foobar'],
	replica => 1,
}

HTH! For now, I'll think about adding a screencast and better docs.
