-----------------------------------
Summary: Remove Master and Slave from Code Base and Docs
Key: SOLR-14702
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14702
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Affects Versions: master (9.0)
Reporter: Marcus Eagan
Every time I read _master_ and _slave_, I get pissed.
I think about the last and only time I remember visiting my maternal grandpa in
Alabama at four years old. He was a sharecropper before WWI, where he lost his
legs, and then he was back to being a sharecropper somehow after the war.
Crazy, I know. I don't know if the world still called his job sharecropping in
1993, but he was basically a slave—in America. He lived in the same shack that
his father, and his grandfather (born a slave) lived in down in Alabama.
Believe it or not, my dad's (born in 1926) grandfather was actually born a
slave, freed shortly after birth by his owner father. I never met him, though.
He died in the 40s.
Anyway, I cannot police all terms in the repo and do not wish to. This
master/slave shit is archaic and mis-leading on technical grounds. Thankfully,
there's only a handful of files in code and documentation that still talk about
masters and slaves. We should replace all of them.
There are so many ways to reword it. In fact, unless anyone else objects or
wants to do the grunt work to help my stress levels, I will open the pull
request myself in effort to make this project and community more inviting to
people of all backgrounds and histories. We can have leader/follower, or
primary/secondary, but none of this Master/Slave nonsense. I'm sick of the
garbage.
