What is difference between spark-slave and spark-worker?

Question

I knew that the slave was changed to worker in Spark configuration.

But When i download Spark-3.2.0, I saw both start-slave.sh and start-worker.sh exist under the 'sbin' folder.

Do both shells do the same thing?

the word slave is no longer used and master may well be on the way out as well — thebluephantom, Dec 17 '21 at 09:24

These scripts are the same, slave has been renamed to worker

I assume that it remains old name for backward-compatibility purposes
