Starts the replication threads. From MySQL 8.0.22, START SLAVE is
deprecated and the alias START REPLICA should be used instead. The
statement works in the same way as before, only the terminology used
for the statement and its output has changed. Both versions of the
statement update the same status variables when used. Please see the
documentation for START REPLICA for a description of the statement.
