Apache Spark reassigned SPARK-32036: ------------------------------------ Assignee: Apache Spark > Remove references to "blacklist"/"whitelist" language (outside of > blacklisting feature) > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-32036 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-32036 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Spark Core > Affects Versions: 3.0.1 > Reporter: Erik Krogen > Assignee: Apache Spark > Priority: Minor > > 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" and > "whitelist". 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. > Renaming the entire blacklisting feature would be a large effort with lots of > care needed to maintain public-facing APIs and configurations. Though I think > this will be a very rewarding effort for which I've filed SPARK-32037, I'd > like to start by tackling all of the other references to such terminology in > the codebase, of which there are still dozens or hundreds beyond the > blacklisting feature. > I'm not sure what the best "Component" is for this so I put Spark Core for > now. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
