The cli has been great for adding the necessary management tools,but if you 
want to use custom translators, you're back to writing vol files and losing 
your ability to do online volume changes. This ability needs to be added in 
order for custom translators to become viable. 

What would the cli command look like for integrating custom xlator? 

I can picture a couple ways, one of which would be that xlators would list 
requirements and providers so the volgen would be able to intuit a valid graph 
if that xlator is enabled for the volume. The cli would provide command hooks 
for any new features that xlator would need to add to the cli.

The gluster command should have a switch option listing the supported mount 
options in case a xlator provides new ones (would be parsed by 
mount.glusterfs). 

Anybody else have a view?
