Noah Slater created COUCHDB-2248:
------------------------------------
Summary: Replace "master" and "slave" terminology
Key: COUCHDB-2248
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2248
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: Documentation
Reporter: Noah Slater
Inspired by the comments on this PR:
https://github.com/django/django/pull/2692
Summary is: `master` and `slave` are racially charged terms, and it would be
good to avoid them. Django have gone for `primary` and `replica`. But we also
have to deal with what we now call multi-master setups. I propose "peer to
peer" as a replacement, or just "peer" if you're describing one node.
As far as I can tell, the primary work here is the docs. The wiki and any
supporting material can be updated after.
