Yun Tang commented on FLINK-18209: ---------------------------------- +1 for this. > Replace "charged" words in the Flink codebase. > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-18209 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18209 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Marta Paes Moreira > Priority: Trivial > > The Flink codebase still makes use of "charged" words that are considered > outdated and have a negative connotation. In particular, this is the number > of occurrences of such words: > "Slave": 229 > > "Whitelist": 23 > > "Blacklist": 28 > > I'd like to propose that we rethink the use of these words [1] and consider > existing alternatives that other open source projects are also adopting. > Replacing all occurrences is non-trivial in many cases and may involve > breaking-changes, though, so one idea would be to break this effort down into > different phases that can be tackled over time, depending on the impact of > the required changes. > [1] [https://lethargy.org/~jesus/writes/a-guide-to-nomenclature-selection/] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
