Remove asynchronous loading of starred changes

When the starred changes were stored in the database for performance
reasons it was important to load them asynchronously while a change
query was executed. Now the starred changes are stored in the change
index so that this asynchronous loading is no longer needed.

This removes the starred changes functionality from IdentifiedUser
which was only used by IsStarredByLegacyPredicate.
IsStarredByLegacyPredicate is used to serve the "is:starred" query
when the current change index is old and doesn't contain any starred
changes. In this case we must load the starred changes from the git
backend. This is expensive since all starred changes refs must be
iterated, but implementing some asynchronous loading for this case
seems overkill since IsStarredByLegacyPredicate is only used until the
online reindexing to a newer index version that contains starred
changes is done.

The old implementation of IsStarredByLegacyPredicate was broken since
it tried to query the starred changes from the index which doesn't
contain starred changes when IsStarredByLegacyPredicate is used.

This also fixes the following warning from StarredChangesUtil when the
newest change index version is used from which the deprecated
STARREDBY is removed:

  WARN  com.google.gerrit.server.StarredChangesUtil : Cannot query
  starred changes for account 1000000
  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: numHits must be > 0; please use
  TotalHitCountCollector if you just need the total hit count

This warning occurred because the asynchronous loading of changes used
the STARREDBY field to load changes from the index, but the index
didn't contain this field anymore.

Since the starred changes functionality is removed from IdentifiedUser
the abstract CurrentUser.getStarredChanges() method is no longer
needed and hence it is removed. This means that all subclasses of
CurrentUser must be adapted. One subclass exists in the replication
plugin and hence this plugin must be updated.

Also, since IdentifiedUser no longer needs StarredChangesUtil, binding
a null provider for this class in tests is no longer needed.

Gerrit Code Review

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

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 Buck and run the following:

    git clone --recursive https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
    cd gerrit && buck 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>]

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