I’d like to voice my support for removing the master/slave nomenclature. It’s
our policy at aster.is that we don’t use that terminology in our projects or
presentations.
Currently we use ‘leader/follower’, but we are open to using whatever terms the
community comes up with. We’re also willing to contribute resources to help get
this accomplished.
We also like queen/drone.
1. Mesos follower. I’m fine with worker or compute. Not a fan of minion.
2. mesos-<term>
3. We use the term ‘leader’ right now.
4. - Update internal code references & UI (have duplicate API endpoints)
- update packages & launch scripts, systemd service files, docker
containers. Luckily, the mesos binary doesn’t need to be changed, just the
start scripts and locations in /etc. For N versions we can update launch
scripts to look for things like /etc/mesos-master config, environment files,
and docker containers for backwards compatibility.
- make changes final by Mesoscon in August, add deprecation warnings
- N + x version of Mesos, remove old UI endpoints and usage of master/slave
config files
Cheers,
Steven Borrelli
