lookahead
on Polkadot and Kusama
#6491
With the collation fairness the validators won't fetch advertisements for which there is no free spot in the claim queue. At the moment on Polkadot and Kusama
lookahead
is set to 2 whilemax_candidate_depth
is set to 3.We need to bump lookahead to 3 on Polkadot so that we still allow the collators to advertise up to three candidates per relay parent.
On Kusama I guess we should bump the lookahead to 6 for the same reason.On Kusama we should do the same.Additional benefit from this change is making the upcoming async backing params deprecation smoother. With this change
max_candidate_depth
will effectively be the number of claims in the claim queue for the given parachain. Keepingmax_candidate_depth
aligned withlookahead
(the claim queue size) definitely helps.Initially brought up by @alindima in https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/4880/files#r1842254623
