Sam Tunnicliffe updated CASSANDRA-15862:
----------------------------------------
Test and Documentation Plan: Just CI for regressions
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
I've updated branches from 2.2 to trunk. The only user-facing change is the
{{org.apache.cassandra.db:type=BlacklistedDirectories}} mbean, which I've
aliased to {{org.apache.cassandra.db:type=DisallowedDirectories}}. It's
unfortunate, but I think we'll need to deprecate that in 4.0 and remove it
later.
There's some binary test data (commit logs) which are found if you grep for the
black/whitelist, but there's nothing in the actual tests which references their
content so I've left them as they are. They're also already removed from trunk.

> Components: Legacy/Core

> Language matters. I'd like to remove all references in Apache Airflow to
> whitelist or black list, and the Cassandra Python API has some that we can't
> easily remove.
> The recent global events have made this even more relevant, but this has been
> on my radar for a while now. Here is a well written article for why I think
> it matters
> https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/blog-post/terminology-its-not-black-and-white
> {quote}It's fairly common to say whitelisting and blacklisting to describe
> desirable and undesirable things in cyber security.
> However, there's an issue with the terminology. It only makes sense if you
> equate white with 'good, permitted, safe' and black with 'bad, dangerous,
> forbidden'. There are some obvious problems with this. {quote}
> My exposure to is via the Python API where there is the
> cassandra.pollicies.WhiteListRoundRobinPolicy class. I propose that this be
> renamed to AllowListRoundRobinPolicy instead. I do not know if there are
> other references.
