Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
OpenSearch repository is going to replace the terminology "master"with "cluster manager".
issue: opensearch-project/OpenSearch#472, with the plan for its terminology replacement.

Although the existing usages with "master" will be supported in OpenSearch version 2.x to keep the backwards compatibility, please prepare for the nomenclature change in advance, and replace all the usages with "master" terminology in the code base.
All the OpenSearch REST APIs and settings that contain "master" terminology will be deprecated in 2.0, and alternative usages will be added.

Describe the solution you'd like
Replace the terminology "master" with "cluster manager".

When being compatible with OpenSearch 2.0:

When being compatible with OpenSearch 3.0:

Describe alternatives you've considered
None.
