Joan Touzet commented on COUCHDB-2248: -------------------------------------- Confirming that "master" and "replica" is the sense we use today, along with "master-master" or "master-replica" in sense I. > Replace "master" and "slave" terminology > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-2248 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2248 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Bug > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Components: Documentation > Reporter: Noah Slater > Priority: Trivial > > Inspired by the comments on this PR: > https://github.com/django/django/pull/2692 > Summary is: `master` and `slave` are racially charged terms, and it would be > good to avoid them. Django have gone for `primary` and `replica`. But we also > have to deal with what we now call multi-master setups. I propose "peer to > peer" as a replacement, or just "peer" if you're describing one node. > As far as I can tell, the primary work here is the docs. The wiki and any > supporting material can be updated after. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
