--------------------------------------
[~morsapaes] Go for it
> Replace "charged" words in the Flink codebase.
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-18209
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18209
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Marta Paes Moreira
> Priority: Trivial
>
> The Flink codebase still makes use of "charged" words that are considered
> outdated and have a negative connotation. In particular, this is the number
> of occurrences of such words:
> "Master": 1366
> "Slave": 229
>
> "Whitelist": 23
>
> "Blacklist": 28
>
> I'd like to propose that we rethink the use of these words [1] and consider
> existing alternatives that other open source projects are also adopting.
> Replacing all occurrences is non-trivial in many cases and may involve
> breaking-changes, though, so one idea would be to break this effort down into
> different phases that can be tackled over time, depending on the impact of
> the required changes.
