------------------------------------------
Summary: Replace "charged" words in the Flink codebase.
Key: FLINK-18209
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18209
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Marta Paes Moreira
The Flink codebase still makes use of "charged" words that are considered
outdated and have a negative connotation. In particular, this is the number of
occurrences of such words:
"Slave": 229
"Whitelist": 23
"Blacklist": 28
I'd like to propose that we [rethink the use of these
words|[https://lethargy.org/~jesus/writes/a-guide-to-nomenclature-selection/]]
and consider existing alternatives that other open source projects are also
adopting. Replacing all occurrences is non-trivial in many cases and may
involve breaking-changes, though, so one idea would be to break this effort
down into different phases that can be tackled over time, depending on the
impact of the required changes.
