--------------------------------------
Summary: Replace master-slave terminology in book, site, and
javadoc with a more modern vocabulary
Key: HBASE-13852
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13852
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Task
Components: documentation, site
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.0.0
We should reconsider our use of historical master-slave terminology everywhere
- book, site, and javadoc - and replace it with a more modern vocabulary. There
was a conversation in the background at HBaseCon about this (I was involved in
one on Twitter). Out of some of the suggestions, I like "coordinator" as
replacement for "master", and "worker" as one replacement for "slave", with the
other the more descriptive "regionserver" or "region server".
