>                 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
>            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". 
> While it seems to me that there is some valid debate as to whether this term 
> has 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.
