I just can not get over the fact that antirez doesn't call a replica a replica and instead uses 'slave'.
Redis might be good technology, but this is just massively behind the times.

> A note about slavery: it's unfortunate that originally the master-slave terminology was picked for databases. When Redis was designed the existing terminology was used without much analysis of alternatives, however a SLAVEOF NO ONE command was added as a freedom message. Instead of changing the terminology, which would require breaking backward compatibility in the API and INFO output, we want to use this page to remind you that slavery is both a crime against humanity today and something that has been perpetuated throughout all human history.
Do not be offended on someone else's behalf.
Like you I had not come across this issue when I landed as a fresh immigrant in California in 1996 to work on replication, but it only took a few minutes for someone to explain it to me and we carried on saying "supplier/consumer" or "origin/destination" for the subsequent 2 decades without trouble..
