[jira] [Comment Edited] (ACCUMULO-2844) Remove master/slave
terminology
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2844?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17136024#comment-17136024 ]

I think as situations evolve so do our understandings and opinions. Therefore, [~busbey], do you think this deserves to be re-visited? I do but am curious of your perspective. May be useful to have a follow up that gets others discussing a rename.

> 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
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
> Time Spent: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> 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).
