Description

This PR tracks the development of the new governance action / voting workload for the tx-generator.

The governance action used for benchmarking was chosen to be Treasury Withdrawals. They don't have dependencies on prior governance actions, and are not mutually blocking. Furthermore, they only require DRep votes to be ratified.

The workload is designed to keep a constant number of proposals "active" (= being voted on), thus keeping the stress on ledger pulsing constant. This means adjusting / throttling vote submissions such that when we know a quorum was reached for one proposal, subsequent votes will go to the next "empty" (= without any votes) proposal.

Issue List

  • Create new workbench profile specifying voting workload for local clusters
  • Load DRep SigningKeys from Genesis / testnet-data
  • Build, sign and validate proposal transactions
  • Build, sign and valiadate voting transactions
  • Switch the local cluster to Porotocol Version 10.0
  • Split genesis fund to pay for proposal submission and tx fees (possibly adjusting govActionDeposit)
  • Submit proposals during splitting phase
  • Submit votes during benchmarking phase
  • Make number of active proposals varying and adjust tx submission stream accordingly
  • Validate workload: analyzing chainDB, monitoring ongoing run with queries, creating test cases
  • Fine-tune workload: adjust dRepVotingThresholds et al., to maximize stress on the system
  • Scale local workbench profile to the cloud cluster
