Hi Accumulo folks! I would like to start a discussion about renaming the Accumulo master. Previous discussions were held a few years ago [1]. Some things have changed since we started that discussion, in the world and in our project governance, so I think it is worth revisiting this topic.
If people agree that a rename would be worthwhile, we can start identifying the many changes that would need to be made (probably a GitHub issue would be a good place for that). This will be a big change and I am happy to help work on it. If anyone else is interested in helping out too, I think we should be able to break the work down into several discrete tasks. I believe the best replacement names we came up with on the original ticket were Coordinator and Conductor. I also wanted to suggest another possibility that I don't think we considered: Admin / AdminServer. Admin is generic, but at least it's short. Feel free to share your thoughts and other ideas, if you have them. Billie [1]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2844
