The terms master and slave have historically been used in replication, and MariaDB has begun the process of adding primary and replica synonyms. The old terms will continue to be used to maintain backward compatibility - see MDEV-18777 to follow progress on this effort.

Replication is a feature allowing the contents of one or more primary servers to be mirrored on one or more replica servers.
