There are nine places where this path is used as HIDDEN_PATH, ten where it's used as HANDLE_PFX, and a couple of others. All of those would have to change, plus we'd have to add code to ensure uniqueness of brick names, etc. It's orders of magnitude less work than putting something in the kernel (for example), but at the same time it's more than a single change and recompile . . . all to avoid creating a couple of subdirectories. That seems like a rather poor use of everyone's time. > make ".glusterfs" a dir and store brick-private information in a file > <brickname> and global (shared) information in a file "global". Maybe you should look at what's already in there and how it's used before you assume that it could (or should) all be contained in two plain files. Neither anonymous file handles nor the index translator fit such a model.
