> 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".
