Removing problematic language in geo-replication

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

The gluster code base has some words and terminology (blacklist, whitelist, master, slave etc.) that can be considered hurtful/offensive to people in a global open source setting. Some of words can be fixed trivially but the Geo-replication code seems to be something that needs extensive rework. More so because we have these words being used in the CLI itself. Two questions that I had were:

1. Can I replace master:slave with primary:secondary everywhere in the code and the CLI? Are there any suggestions for more appropriate terminology?

2. Is it okay to target the changes to a major release (release-9) and *not* provide backward compatibility for the CLI?

Thanks,

Ravi
