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

             Summary: Changing "whitelist" and "blacklist" in our docs and project.
                 Key: HBASE-24576
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24576
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Rushabh Shah


Replace instances of “whitelist” and “blacklist” in our project, trails, documentation and UI text. 
We can replace  blacklist with blocklist, blocklisted, or block  and whitelist with allowlist, allowlisted, or allow.
In my current workplace they are suggesting us to make this change. Also Google has an exhaustive list to write inclusive documentation: https://developers.google.com/style/inclusive-documentation

There might be few issues while making the change.
1. If these words are part of config property name then all customers needs to make the change.
2. There might be some client-server compatibility if we change server side variables/method names.

Creating this jira just to start the conversation. Please chip in with ideas.
