This document attempts to capture and discuss some of the areas of Tendermint that seem to be cited as causing performance issue. I'm hoping to continue to gather feedback and input on this document to better understand what issues Tendermint performance may cause for our users.
The overall goal of this document is to allow the maintainers and community to get a better sense of these issues and to be more capably able to discuss them and weight trade-offs about any proposed performance-focused changes. This document does not aim to propose any performance improvements. It does suggest useful places for benchmarks and places where additional metrics would be useful for diagnosing and further understanding Tendermint performance.
Please comment with areas where my reasoning seems off or with additional areas that Tendermint performance may be causing user pain.
* add information on upgrading to the new p2p library
* clarify p2p backwards compatibility
* reorder p2p queue list
* add demo for p2p selection
* fix spacing in upgrading
Issues reported in Osmosis, where the message is extremely long. Also, there is absolutely no reason to log the message IMO. If we must, we can make the message log DEBUG.
Adds a simple property test to the `clist` package. This test uses the [rapid](https://github.com/flyingmutant/rapid) library and works by modeling the internal clist as a simple array.
Follow up from this mornings workshop with the Regen team.
This changes adds a failing test for issue #6660. It achieves this by adding a transaction, starting the `broadcastTxRoutine` in a goroutine and then adding another transaction to the mempool. The `broadcastTxRoutine` can receive the second inserted transaction before `insertTx` returns. In that case, `broadcastTxRoutine` will derefence a nil pointer when referencing the `gossipEl` and panic.
This change aims to keep versions of mockery consistent across developer laptops.
This change adds mockery to the `tools.go` file so that its version can be managed consistently in the `go.mod` file.
Additionally, this change temporarily disables adding mockery's version number to generated files. There is an outstanding issue against the mockery project related to the version string behavior when running from `go get`. I have created a pull request to fix this issue in the mockery project.

Update those break statements inside case clauses that are intended to reach an
enclosing for loop, so that they correctly exit the loop.
The candidate files for this change were located using:
% staticcheck -checks SA4011 ./... | cut -d: -f-2
This change is intended to preserve the intended semantics of the code, but
since the code as-written did not have its intended effect, some behaviour may
change. Specifically: Some loops may have run longer than they were supposed
to, prior to this change.
In one case I was not able to clearly determine the intended outcome. That case
has been commented but otherwise left as-written.
Fixes#6780.
This adds a test for closing the `pqueue` while the `pqueue` contains data that has not yet been dequeued.
This issue was found while debugging #6705
This test will fail until @cmwaters fix for this condition is merged.
This change adds additional coverage to the `mConnConnection.TrySendMessage` code path. Adds test to ensure it returns `io.EOF` when closed.
Addresses: #6570
This changes adds an `MempoolError` field to the `ResponseCheckTx`. This will allow clients to understand that their transaction was rejected from the mempool despite passing the ABCI check.
This change also updates the code to make use of early returns to prevent highly nested code blocks. Namely, it returns when the type assertion fails at the beginning of the method, instead of wrapping the entire method in a large if statement. This has a somewhat large effect on the diff as rendered by github.
addresses: #3546
closes#2498
solves part of #3365
Note: difficult to test the event emit in SwitchToFastSync part, might need to change `stateSyncReactor` to an interface in the `nodeImpl` struct
There are many `//go:generate mockery` lines in the source code.
This change adds a make target to invoke these mock generations.
This change also invokes the mock invocations and adds the resulting mocks to the repo.
Related to #5274
This code change amends the dispatcher tests to read from the dispatcher's `requestCh`. This ensures that a request is waiting when the test calls `dispatcher.respond`.
addresses: #6711
I put this error log in here because I thought it might be a helpful indicator to see when a reactor sends a message to a peer that doesn't have that channel open but it turns out this is happening all the time and it's kind of annoying
This commit extends the fix in #6518, so all other goroutine which run
concurrently with processBlockchainCh can safely send data to blockchain
out channel via a bridge channel. This helps eliminating all possible
data race with sending and closing blockchainCh.Out channel at the same
time.
Fixes#6516
