Re-transmitting STOP message to install regency

[johnarakas]

I am trying to do an evaluation of the system for a project. I am working on an older version of bft smart (with ant, gradle didn't work) and I keep receiving this message: Re-transmitting STOP message to install regency 1. Can anyone help me (i know this is not the write place but where else to speak for bft smart)

Regarding Gradle, what version of JDK are you using to compile the code? I can successfully compile using OpenJDK 11.

Regarding STOP messages, does this happen with few clients or when the system is loaded with many clients/requests? A possible reason is system.totalordermulticast.timeout parameter in config/system.config file is low to handle many requests. Since the leader is overloaded, timeout is triggered at the other replicas for the clients' requests, which triggers the leader chance protocol.

I recommend reading the following explaining: https://github.com/bft-smart/library/wiki/Deployment-Guidelines#adjust-the-requests-timeout-to-your-own-system.

If you still have the problem, please specify your experiment configuration (nº of replicas, faults, and clients).
