Dave Borowitz bab45861b7 Optionally persist ChangeNotesCache
Loading ChangeNotes into the ChangeNotesCache should generally be pretty
fast when the underlying git repository storage is fast, but there are
some situations where that is not the case:

* The repo hasn't been GC'ed in a while, so may contain a lot of loose
  objects.
* On googlesource.com using the JGit DFS backend, when GC has happened
  recently and the DFS block cache is cold.

These problems are particularly noticeable on a cold server start.

As an optional optimization, allow persisting the ChangeNotesCache. For
installations where cache loading latency hasn't proven to be a problem,
it may not be worth the disk space, but we think it will make a
difference for googlesource.com.

Writing the necessary protos was a bit of work, but actually the
marginal cost of tweaking fields should be relatively low, and any
change should cause a small test to fail, so we should be able to detect
any changes as they arise. I explicitly chose to reuse existing
serialization mechanisms where possible (ProtobufCodecs, JSON), to limit
the size of this change. This is just cache data, so it's not like it
has to be particularly pretty or long-lasting.

This change is not intended to indicate we are giving up on optimizing
loading ChangeNotes from storage, but is more of a bandaid for fixing
performance problems in production today.

Gerrit Code Review

Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.

Build Status

Objective

Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.

Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.

Documentation

For information about how to install and use Gerrit, refer to the documentation.

Source

Our canonical Git repository is located on googlesource.com. There is a mirror of the repository on Github.

Reporting bugs

Please report bugs on the issue tracker.

Contribute

Gerrit is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Please read the contribution guidelines.

Note that we do not accept Pull Requests via the Github mirror.

Getting in contact

The IRC channel on freenode is #gerrit. An archive is available at: echelog.com.

The Developer Mailing list is repo-discuss on Google Groups.

Build

Install Bazel and run the following:

    git clone --recursive https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
    cd gerrit && bazel build release

Install binary packages (Deb/Rpm)

The instruction how to configure GerritForge/BinTray repositories is here

On Debian/Ubuntu run:

    apt-get update & apt-get install gerrit=<version>-<release>

NOTE: release is a counter that starts with 1 and indicates the number of packages that have been released with the same version of the software.

On CentOS/RedHat run:

    yum clean all && yum install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]

On Fedora run:

    dnf clean all && dnf install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]

Use pre-built Gerrit images on Docker

Docker images of Gerrit are available on DockerHub

To run a CentOS 7 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-centos7[:version]

To run a Ubuntu 15.04 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-ubuntu15.04[:version]

NOTE: release is optional. Last released package of the version is installed if the release number is omitted.
