> Remove Master and Slave from Code Base and Docs

> Key: SOLR-14702
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14702
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Affects Versions: master (9.0)
> Reporter: Marcus Eagan
> Priority: Critical
>
> Every time I read _master_ and _slave_, I get pissed.
> I think about the last and only time I remember visiting my maternal grandpa
> in Alabama at four years old. He was a sharecropper before WWI, where he lost
> his legs, and then he was back to being a sharecropper somehow after the war.
> Crazy, I know. I don't know if the world still called his job sharecropping
> in 1993, but he was basically a slave—in America. He lived in the same shack
> that his father, and his grandfather (born a slave) lived in down in Alabama.
> Believe it or not, my dad's (born in 1926) grandfather was actually born a
> slave, freed shortly after birth by his owner father. I never met him,
> though. He died in the 40s.
> Anyway, I cannot police all terms in the repo and do not wish to. This
> master/slave shit is archaic and mis-leading on technical grounds.
> Thankfully, there's only a handful of files in code and documentation that
> still talk about masters and slaves. We should replace all of them.
> There are so many ways to reword it. In fact, unless anyone else objects or
> wants to do the grunt work to help my stress levels, I will open the pull
> request myself in effort to make this project and community more inviting to
> people of all backgrounds and histories. We can have leader/follower, or
> primary/secondary, but none of this Master/Slave nonsense. I'm sick of the
> garbage.
