Thomas Graves commented on SPARK-32037:
---------------------------------------
I agree healthy/unhealty could mean other things then the current blacklist
meaning. Another option is excludes but again has the same problem that it
could be excluded if user specified it.
A few other options I found searching around:
*grant*list/*block*list
*let*list/*ban*list - I like ban but not sure on the letlist side.
SafeList/BlockList
Allowlist/DenyList
[https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-knodel-terminology-00.html#rfc.section.1.2.1]
has:
* Blocklist-allowlist
* Block-permit
Personally I like the blocklist/allowlist

> 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.
