/**
 * Interface for {@link BatchUpdate} operations that touch a change.
 *
 * <p>Each operation has {@link #updateChange(ChangeContext)} called once the change is read in a
 * transaction. Ops are associated with updates via {@link
 * BatchUpdate#addOp(com.google.gerrit.entities.Change.Id, BatchUpdateOp)}.
 *
 * <p>Usually, a single {@code BatchUpdateOp} instance is only associated with a single change, i.e.
 * {@code addOp} is only called once with that instance. Additionally, each method in {@code
 * BatchUpdateOp} is called at most once per {@link BatchUpdate} execution.
 *
 * <p>Taken together, these two properties mean an instance may communicate between phases by
 * storing data in private fields, and a single instance must not be reused.
