FWIW the organization I work for uses the terms active and standby, if I
may add that to the suggestion list.

Clebert, do you have an alternative suggestion about how to distinguish
between the configured role and the running role?

TBH master and slave wouldn’t offend me as a robot could be considered a
slave without being offensive.
But if there is general consensus on the term I will leave my personal
opinion to the side there.

Dom, internally in Artemis the process of starting the broker is
generally
called "activation". Therefore I typically use the terms "active" and
"passive" to describe the "running role" as you call it. It's not
perfect,
but it covers most cases.

I would propose to replace `master/slave` with `leader/follower` or
other
terms different from `live/backup` in ActiveMQ Artemis to keep the HA
configuration role of the broker separated from the HA running role of
the
broker.
For example, a broker instance with the `slave` HA configuration role
could
acquire the `live` HA running role after a failover.

Nope, "worker" does not capture the idea. In Artemis, slave is
replicating
the data on the master and replaces the master in case the master
dies.
The
"worker" terminology is more suitable for a situation when the master
coordinates and all work is done on slaves.
Looking at
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#naming,
I'd suggest one of
‘{primary,main} / {secondary,replica,subordinate}’ ‘leader /
follower’
I like the leader/follower, personally. I have a feeling I heard it
somewhere in the context of database replication.
Live / backup sounds good as well, except that "live" brings a bit of
the
echo of the notorious Unix cruelty and violence (killing children,
reaping
zombies).
