-------------------------------------
Summary: Remove master/slave terminology
Key: ACCUMULO-2844
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2844
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.6.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.0
Reporter: Sean Busbey
Assignee: Sean Busbey
Fix For: 1.5.2, 1.6.1, 1.7.0
I'd like to remove our use of master/slave terminology in favor of something
that doesn't carry a racially charged meaning.
As a side effect I'd also like to pick names that carry better meaning of how
things work within Accumulo.
In the case of a single cluster, I'd like to
* Change the Master role to Coordinator
* Change the associated master server package to coordinator
* Change the master configuration file to be named coordinators
* Change the slaves configuration file to be named tservers
In the case of the in-progress replication work I'd like to change terminology:
* use _Primary Cluster_ in place of _Master Cluster_
* use _Replica Clusters_ in place of _Slave Clusters_
I intend to do this in all active branches in a way that maintains
compatibility of existing configuration files and serialized actions (i.e. fate
operations) within their major branch. In the current unreleased major branch I
expect upgrading will require user action (e.g. renaming configuration files).
