Description
Remove calls to
beat
when receiving a local proposalOnly call
beat
on new transactions when there no transactions pending executionReduced some info log noisiness
Motivation and Context
beat
was called when receiving a local proposal, however this is not necessary unless you are the leader.beat
is called when receiving votes (including from self) as the next leader so this PR essentially only calls beat on reciept of a proposal if it is the next leader.If there is only a single transaction, we avoid waiting for the block time by allowing the mempool to send how many transactions are awaiting execution allowing consensus to process the single transaction immediately, or wait for multiple transactions to finish executing before proposing.
How Has This Been Tested?
Manually, stess test and single transactions.
250 stress test with 2 shards:
