https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-17169 I don't really know who the people are to review this patch, but it removes all non-inclusive terminology from Hadoop Common. This ends up changing some things in some other projects (mostly HDFS) as well since they depend on stuff from

Thanks for the responses, Jon and Carlo! It makes sense to me to prevent future patches from re-introducing the terminology. I can file a JIRA to add the +1/-1 functionality to the precommit builds. As for splitting up the work, I think it'll probably be easiest and cleanest to have an umbrella

Thanks again Eric for leading the charge. As for whether to chop it up or keep it in fewer patches, I think it primarily impact the conflict surface with dev branches and other in-flight development. More patches are likely creating more localized clashes (as in I clash with a smaller patch, which

I have created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-17168 to remove non-inclusive terminology from Hadoop. However I would like input on how to go about putting up patches. This umbrella JIRA is under Hadoop Common, but there are sure to be instances in YARN, HDFS, and Mapreduce. Should I

RE Mentorship: I think the Mentorship program is an interesting idea. The concerns with these efforts is always the follow-through. If you can find a group of folks that are motivated and will work on this I think it could be a great idea, especially if you focus on a diverse set of mentees, and

Thanks for writing this up, Carlo. I'm +1 (idk if I'm technically binding on this or not) for the changes moving forward and I think we refactor away any instances that are internal to the code (i.e. not APIs or other things that would break compatibility) in all active branches and then also
