Justin Bertram commented on AMQ-7514:
-------------------------------------
I think the master/slave renaming will be the most tricky as we'll need a
handful of new terms and these terms should be consistent across both classic
and Artemis.
First, we at least need 2 new _nouns_. These will represent the configured
state of the nodes in both the shared storage and replicated use-cases (e.g.
primary, backup, replica, etc.).
Second, we need 2 _adjectives_ to describe the state of the nodes (e.g. active,
passive, live, dead, etc.). This is so we can accurately describe the runtime
condition of a node (e.g. active backup, passive primary, live replica, etc.).
If we don't have clear ways to discuss both the configured state and runtime
condition of the nodes it will be difficult to properly document and
troubleshoot.

> Key: AMQ-7514
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-7514
> Project: ActiveMQ
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Bruce Snyder
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 3h 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Given the racial charged nature of certain terms in today's world, we must
> pull together to create a plan for changing any such terms throughout all the
> ActiveMQ projects and in the git repos themselves.
>
> Example: [https://activemq.apache.org/masterslave.html]
>
> Here are just a few terms that should be changed: * The following terms are
> being targeted for change:
> *
> ** 'master' and 'slave' should be replaced with the terms 'live' and 'backup'
> ** 'whitelist' and 'blacklist' should be replaced with the terms 'allowlist'
> and 'denylist'
> * Rename all the git 'master' branches to the term 'main'
> Proposal notes from activemq-dev mailing list
> Phase 1:
> 1. Deprecate terms such as ‘master’ and ’slave
> 2. log.warn any configuration change notifications
> 3. Provide compatibility under the covers for deprecated terms
> 4. Provide any openwire compatibility changes b/w ActiveMQ 5 and Artemis
> 5. Notify users in an announcement and provide a conversion HOWTO
> Phase 2:
> 1. Remove terminology as part of a major or minor release (SEMVER where ‘y’
> in ‘x.y.z’ is minor version number)
> New terms:
> a. For shared storage: ‘active’ and ’standby’
> b. For replication: ‘primary’ and ‘replica'
> c. For 'white list' and 'blacklist': 'allow list' and 'deny list'
> For example:
> ‘master’ -> ‘active’
> ’slave’ -> ’standby'
