[jira] [Comment Edited] (ACCUMULO-2844) Remove master/slave terminology

["Dave Marion (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

---------------------------------------------------------------

In case there was any confusion about where I stand on the issue:

-1 to changing anything in the bug fix branches as the original description does not state or imply that the changes will maintain api compatibility. Instead it says, "I intend to do this in all active branches in a way that maintains compatibility of existing configuration files and serialized actions"
+1 to changing the name of the slaves file in 1.7
-0 to changing the name of the Master process. I don't think it needs to be changed, but agree its not descriptive. For that matter we could change garbage collector to file collector.

Updated: Added justification for veto.

> 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).
