Can't you distribute a sort of file mapping to each node ?
AFAIK , gluster already has some metadata stored in the cluster, what
is missing is a mapping between each file/shard and brick.

Maybe a simple DB (just as an idea: sqlite, berkeleydb, ...) stored in
a fixed location on gluster itself, being replicated across nodes.
