William Slacum commented on ACCUMULO-2844:
------------------------------------------
I don't have an opinion on which new name is chose, but:
# I think it's better to keep this in 1.7, since it could be rather large
undertaking for old releases that will still have "master" referenced
regardless of what you do
# "Pursue a debate about this will just result in me pushing forward with less
discussion" isn't cool by any means, goes against what being a community is
about, and I will personally revert any commits that would result from that.
> Remove master/slave terminology
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-2844
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2844
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.6.0
> 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).
