Ishan Chattopadhyaya commented on SOLR-14702:
---------------------------------------------
bq. There is a solr-user list thread on the topic here
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r23c685a79397b81c157f8d0d9cb4295a612f8eed387d0137e3b8d93f%40%3Csolr-user.lucene.apache.org%3E
that I'm not sure if you are aware of. May I suggest reviving that thread now
after the holiday ...
Even though I was not too eager for this change (as evident from the user list
thread), I see, *for the first time*, some real intent and action to make this
change happen. User list discussions are all talk, no action. Marcus is taking
positive action here (an actual proposal and a PR), and the worst we can do to
derail this effort would be to tell him to go back to the mailing list thread
and keep discussing on and on. Since this JIRA is here and has the right
context, IMHO all discussions on this topic should happen here.
In terms of terminlogy, I like primary server, secondary server because it
doesn't conflict with anything to do with SolrCloud.

> Every time I read _master_ and _slave_, I get pissed.
> I think about the last and only time I remember visiting my maternal great
> grandpa in Alabama at four years old. He was a sharecropper before WWI, where
> he lost his legs, and then he was back to being a sharecropper somehow after
> the war. Crazy, I know. I don't know if the world still called his job
> sharecropping in 1993, but he was basically a slave—in America. He lived in
> the same shack that his father, and his grandfather (born a slave) lived in
> down in Alabama. Believe it or not, my dad's (born in 1926) grandfather was
> actually born a slave, freed shortly after birth by his owner father. I never
> met him, though. He died in the 40s.
> Anyway, I cannot police all terms in the repo and do not wish to. This
> master/slave shit is archaic and misleading on technical grounds. Thankfully,
> there's only a handful of files in code and documentation that still talk
> about masters and slaves. We should replace all of them.
> There are so many ways to reword it. In fact, unless anyone else objects or
> wants to do the grunt work to help my stress levels, I will open the pull
> request myself in effort to make this project and community more inviting to
> people of all backgrounds and histories. We can have leader/follower, or
> primary/secondary, but none of this Master/Slave nonsense. I'm sick of the
> garbage.
