Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-18209: -------------------------------------- Let's do it. The most visible part is probably the "slave" file, which we may be able to change in 1.11 even. AS far as I can tell, it is only used by the "start/stop-cluster.sh" scripts, so might me simple to change. We need a prominent release note, though, that this breaks existing standalone setups. On the other hand, I think few production installations are actually based on these scripts. > 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 outdated and have a negative connotation.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: > "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. > [1] [https://lethargy.org/~jesus/writes/a-guide-to-nomenclature-selection/] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
