Shard refs/starred-changes refs by change ID instead of account ID

If the ref is sharded by change ID, the lookup by change ID is
cheaper. This is because now we can list all refs that start with
refs/starred-changes/ plus sharded change ID and looking up refs with
a prefix that end on '/' is optimized in jgit.

Finding all changes that were starred by a user gets more expensive
since now we need to scan the complete refs/starred-changes/ namespace
for this.

The ref format is changed, because we plan to store the users that
have starred a change in the change index, and this means that we need
to look them up each time a change is reindex. If reindexing a change
would require a complete scan over the refs/starred-changes/ namespace
this would result in performance issues.

On the other hand looking up the changes that were starred by a user
can be done via the change index so that we don't need to scan the
refs/starred-changes/ namespace in this case either.

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.
