Goals

• Replace all text using the updated terminology in all of MongoDB’s product user interfaces (UIs)
• Create new API endpoints and marking the old API endpoints as deprecated
  • Completely remove deprecated API endpoints at a later date
• Modify the output of commands such as rs.status(), db.isMaster() to use the updated terminology
• Update all of the documentation that coincides with these changes, commands, and terminology

Overview of Terminology Changes

• “Master” and “Slave” = “Primary” and “Secondary”
  • db.isMaster() = db.hello()
• “Whitelist” and “Blacklist” =
  • For Server = Allow List and Deny List
  • For Drivers = Allow List and Deny List
    • For Kafka = Allow List and Block List
  • For Atlas “IP Whitelist” = “Network Access List”
  • For ADL “White List” = “Access List” and “Whitlisted” = “Allowed”
  • For Charts “whitelist” = “list” plus the description “Do not include fields that may reveal sensitive data”
