Description

Invoker is a transitional component from the request to the real container of the openwhisk function. Is there a queue system like kafka inside?
The reason I ask this question is that I once encountered an error reporting that requests that did not get a free container for a long time were discarded because all functions were running to full capacity.
Therefore, in the K8s-helm deployment mode, can we set the Invoker to the container pool or the queue length of the specific function container and the waiting time of the request in the queue through some options in values.yaml?

Research direction

Start by reading the Invoker request-to-container path and inspecting the K8s-Helm deployment's values.yaml options. Determine whether queue length, container-pool sizing, and request wait time are already supported; done would require an agreed configuration change or a clarified limitation.
