wuyi commented on SPARK-32037: ------------------------------ +1 for healthy/unhealthy > 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 > 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. -- 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
