[jira] [Resolved] (HBASE-13852) Replace master-slave terminology in book, site, and javadoc with a more modern vocabulary

["Andrew Kyle Purtell (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Andrew Kyle Purtell resolved HBASE-13852.
-----------------------------------------
    Resolution: Later

Easy to advocate for such things, harder to show up and do the work, that is my take. That said the PMC, including myself are still willing to support such an effort by way of timely review of PRs and release voting, should someone show up to do the work. 

This is open source. You don't tell people what to do, you show up and do it. Be the change you want to see! (Or not...)

Resolving as Later. Reopen whenever desired.

> We should reconsider our use of historical master-slave terminology everywhere - book, site, and javadoc - and replace it with a more modern vocabulary. There was a conversation in the background at HBaseCon about this (I was involved in one on Twitter). Out of some of the suggestions, I like "coordinator" as replacement for "master", and "worker" as one replacement for "slave", with the other the more descriptive "regionserver" or "region server".
