Marta Paes Moreira commented on FLINK-18209:
--------------------------------------------
[~xintongsong], I agree with you regarding "Master". Didn't include it
initially but later added since it's often also part of the discussions I've
seen so far.
Thanks everyone for the support on the ticket! Should I create a document that
details where these words come up in the codebase, or what would be the easiest
way to move forward and evaluate what can be changed now and what requires
bigger efforts?

> 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 outdated and have a negative connotation.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:
> "Master": 1366
> "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.
