Tried with 1.1.6, still the same issue persists.

The replica terminology should be fixed in master, I will make a new release this week.

Having the same issue here as well.
Following for updates.

@meiji163 let us know when the fix is deployed :-)

[meiji163]

I released v1.1.8-rc because we want to test the major features more before GA release v1.1.8. We expect to release v1.1.8 in the next couple weeks.

[meiji163]

v1.1.8 has 8.4 support

[binaryelites]

gh-ost-1.1.8-1.x86_64.rpm file is missing for rhel or centos
