------------------------------------
Summary: Changing "whitelist" and "blacklist" in our docs and
project.
Key: HBASE-24576
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24576
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Rushabh Shah
Replace instances of “whitelist” and “blacklist” in our project, trails,
documentation and UI text.
We can replace blacklist with blocklist, blocklisted, or block and whitelist
with allowlist, allowlisted, or allow.
In my current workplace they are suggesting us to make this change. Also Google
has an exhaustive list to write inclusive documentation:
https://developers.google.com/style/inclusive-documentation
There might be few issues while making the change.
1. If these words are part of config property name then all customers needs to
make the change.
2. There might be some client-server compatibility if we change server side
variables/method names.
Creating this jira just to start the conversation. Please chip in with ideas.
