Erik Krogen created SPARK-32037:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Rename blacklisting feature to avoid language with racist
connotation
Key: SPARK-32037
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-32037
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Spark Core
Affects Versions: 3.0.1
Reporter: Erik Krogen
As per [discussion on the Spark dev
list|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rf6b2cdcba4d3875350517a2339619e5d54e12e66626a88553f9fe275%40%3Cdev.spark.apache.org%3E],
it will be beneficial to remove references to problematic language that can
alienate potential community members. One such reference is "blacklist". While
it seems to me that there is some valid debate as to whether these terms have
racist origins, the cultural connotations are inescapable in today's world.
I've created a separate task, SPARK-32036, to remove references outside of this
feature. Given the large surface area of this feature and the public-facing UI
/ configs / etc., more care will need to be taken here.
I'd like to start by opening up debate on what the best replacement name would
be. Reject-/deny-/ignore-/block-list are common replacements for "blacklist",
but I'm not sure that any of them work well for this situation.
