Sounds like GitHub is considering changing 'master' to 'main'. That could also 
be a possibility.

Subject: [DISCUSS] Rename Accumulo master

Hi Accumulo folks! I would like to start a discussion about renaming the 
Accumulo master. Previous discussions were held a few years ago [1]. Some 
things have changed since we started that discussion, in the world and in our 
project governance, so I think it is worth revisiting this topic.

If people agree that a rename would be worthwhile, we can start identifying the 
many changes that would need to be made (probably a GitHub issue would be a 
good place for that). This will be a big change and I am happy to help work on 
it. If anyone else is interested in helping out too, I think we should be able 
to break the work down into several discrete tasks.

I believe the best replacement names we came up with on the original ticket 
were Coordinator and Conductor. I also wanted to suggest another possibility 
that I don't think we considered: Admin / AdminServer. Admin is generic, but at 
least it's short. Feel free to share your thoughts and other ideas, if you have 
them.

Billie
