Description

We have a lot of references to "slave" in the code base which doesn't match the terminology in the rest of our code base and we should clean it up. In many situations it would be clearer with "executor", "worker", or "replica" depending on the context (so this is not just a search and replace but actually read through the code and make it consistent).

 

We may want to (in a follow on) explore renaming master to something more precise.
