bazel threw out errors when building

Hi, @DouglasYu,

Happy new year! The reason for this failure is the latest version of Bazel changed from 5.4 to 6.0. This is a known issue in bazel, please see this link for details, which recommends downgrading to 5.4 as a workaround.

If you already have Bazel 6.0.0 installed, running following commands (on Linux) will allow you to run Bazel 5.4.0:

sudo apt install bazel-5.4.0
This installs Bazel 5.4.0 as /usr/bin/bazel-1.0.0 on your system.

Then, you can set bazel to a specific version by creating a symlink:
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/bazel-5.4.0 /usr/bin/bazel

bazel version should show current version is set to 5.4.0 successfully:

Build label: 5.4.0
Build target: bazel-out/k8-opt/bin/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/bazel/BazelServer_deploy.jar
Build time: Thu Dec 15 16:14:25 2022 (1671120865)
Build timestamp: 1671120865
Build timestamp as int: 1671120865

You should be able to build and run the benchmark now :)

Yeah the benchmark is working now. Thank you so much and happy new year!

Some quick updates -- this issue is fixed in d765040. Fleetbench can now build and run with bazel 6.0.0.
