Problem

The introduction of a temporary workaround in PR 10547 of the hiero-mirror-node has led to the disabling of the deterministic throttle from hedera-app. This workaround was implemented to address a specific issue, but it is no longer necessary once the underlying problem is resolved in the services. In this article, we will explore the solution to revert the temporary workaround and delete the copied code.

Understanding the Temporary Workaround

The temporary workaround was introduced to bypass the deterministic throttle from hedera-app, which is a crucial component of the hedera-app services. The throttle is designed to regulate the rate at which requests are made to the services, preventing overwhelming and ensuring smooth operation. However, the workaround disabled this throttle, potentially leading to performance issues and other problems.

The Need to Revert the Temporary Workaround

Now that the issue is being addressed in the services, it is essential to revert the temporary workaround and enable the deterministic throttle from hedera-app. This will ensure that the services operate as intended, with the throttle regulating the rate of requests and preventing potential performance issues.

Solution

To revert the temporary workaround and delete the copied code, follow these steps:

Delete the Copied Code

The first step is to delete the copied code in the mentioned PR (10547). This code was implemented as a temporary workaround and is no longer necessary. By deleting it, we can ensure that the services operate with the deterministic throttle enabled.

Use the Fix

Once the copied code is deleted, we can use the fix that was implemented to address the underlying issue. This fix will ensure that the services operate as intended, with the throttle regulating the rate of requests and preventing potential performance issues.

Verify the Changes

After deleting the copied code and using the fix, it is essential to verify the changes to ensure that the services are operating correctly. This can be done by monitoring the performance of the services and checking for any potential issues.

Alternatives

In this case, there are no alternative solutions to revert the temporary workaround and delete the copied code. The fix implemented in the services is the most effective way to address the issue and ensure that the services operate as intended.

Benefits of Reverting the Temporary Workaround

Reverting the temporary workaround and enabling the deterministic throttle from hedera-app has several benefits, including:

Improved Performance

By enabling the throttle, we can ensure that the services operate at optimal performance levels, preventing potential performance issues and ensuring smooth operation.

Reduced Risk

Disabling the throttle can lead to performance issues and other problems. By enabling it, we can reduce the risk of these issues and ensure that the services operate as intended.

Enhanced Reliability

The deterministic throttle is a crucial component of the hedera-app services. By enabling it, we can ensure that the services operate reliably, with the throttle regulating the rate of requests and preventing potential performance issues.

Conclusion

Q: What is the temporary workaround for the throttle from hedera-app?

A: The temporary workaround for the throttle from hedera-app was introduced in PR 10547 of the hiero-mirror-node to bypass the deterministic throttle from hedera-app. This workaround was implemented to address a specific issue, but it is no longer necessary once the underlying problem is resolved in the services.

Q: Why is it necessary to revert the temporary workaround?

A: It is necessary to revert the temporary workaround and enable the deterministic throttle from hedera-app because the workaround disabled this throttle, potentially leading to performance issues and other problems. Now that the issue is being addressed in the services, it is essential to revert the temporary workaround and enable the throttle to ensure that the services operate as intended.

Q: How do I delete the copied code and use the fix?

A: To delete the copied code and use the fix, follow these steps:

Delete the Copied Code: Delete the copied code in the mentioned PR (10547). This code was implemented as a temporary workaround and is no longer necessary.
Use the Fix: Once the copied code is deleted, use the fix that was implemented to address the underlying issue. This fix will ensure that the services operate as intended, with the throttle regulating the rate of requests and preventing potential performance issues.

Q: How do I verify the changes?

A: After deleting the copied code and using the fix, it is essential to verify the changes to ensure that the services are operating correctly. This can be done by monitoring the performance of the services and checking for any potential issues.

Q: What are the potential consequences of not reverting the temporary workaround?

A: If the temporary workaround is not reverted, it can lead to performance issues and other problems. The deterministic throttle is a crucial component of the hedera-app services, and disabling it can have serious consequences. By not reverting the temporary workaround, you may experience:

Performance Issues: Disabling the throttle can lead to performance issues, including slow response times and increased latency.
Reliability Issues: The services may become unreliable, with the throttle no longer regulating the rate of requests and preventing potential performance issues.
Security Issues: Disabling the throttle can also lead to security issues, as the services may become vulnerable to attacks and other security threats.

Q: How do I get help if I encounter issues while reverting the temporary workaround?

A: If you encounter issues while reverting the temporary workaround, you can get help from the following resources:

Documentation: The documentation for the hedera-app services provides detailed information on how to revert the temporary workaround and use the fix.
Support Team: The support team for the hedera-app services is available to provide assistance and answer any questions you may have.
Community Forum: The community forum for the hedera-app services is a great place to ask questions and get help from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
