I think we should change the distsql diagram to read authors@primary.

Thanks for the feedback. This is timely as we are updating our representation of EXPLAIN ANALYZE cc @RaduBerinde @Annebirzin

[yuzefovich]

We have actually already fixed this inconsistency on 20.2 branch (#52085), so I'll close this issue.

[yuzefovich]

I'll backport that PR to 20.1 branch.
