Maybe, I haven't explored the above technologies. consul can be used
for all the different functions that glusterd performs today. consul
has service discovery and "leadership algorithms" for executing commands
in the cluster, in its 'toolbox'. Portmap service can be implemented as a
dictionary with glusterfs-server processes as the key and their ports as
the value. We can build further sophistication as we find use for.
