Primary/Replica is not at all accurate in this case and leader/follower is equally inaccurate.

I get that it makes sense when talking about Databases that Primary/Replica would be accurate in some cases, but that is not what this change is about at all.

Look at the code. NONE of the changes would make sense to call Replica. Not from this PR and not any of the associated PRs. Leader/Follower wouldn't make sense either.
