Hyperledger Fabric SimulateProposal Error with high input send rate

Question

Hello I created a Hyperledger Fabric network that works fine when I submit a few transaction proposals at a time, but since I have to do some benchmark tests I'm having errors when I send several proposals to peers with high send rate. The network has these elements:

3 Organizations

3 Peers (one for each Org)

1 Orderer

1 Channel

1 Java Chaincode compiled with fabric-chaincode-shim 1.4.4

The endorsement policy for the chaincode requires positive replies from all peers to valide transactions

All run on a single machine with:

Intel i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz

8 GB RAM DDR4

Ubuntu 19.04 with kernel 5.0.0-35-generic

Docker version 19.03.4

docker-compose version 1.21.0

Docker containers for peers and orderer use Fabric images at version 1.4.3, but I tried latest and the outcome is the same.

I use Hyperledger Caliper to submite proposals at high send rate, some of them are accepted by peers (the number varies between execution) but others failed with this error:

Transaction[901d0036b2] life-cycle errors:

Proposal response error by peer0.org1.com: transaction returned with failure: Failed to submit task for processing

I report here the piece of the peer's log with the error:

As the message INFO 1447 suggests the peer fails to create a new task for the proposal, probably because many requests arrive together. Is this consideration correct? Is there any way to change the maximum number of parallel tasks that a peer can create? Because this situation happens even with a rate of 100 rps and I think I can push performances further.

SOLUTION

As reported on this link:

https://jira.hyperledger.org/browse/FAB-17110

When Java chaincodes are compiled with fabric-chaincode-shim at version 1.4.4 the default thread pool is set too low, using the workaround described on the link I changed the pool queue size to decrease discarded transactions under high load conditions.
