PostReview: Send batch event when multiple reviewers are added at once

So far when multiple reviewers are added at once via the PostReview
REST endpoint we've sent out one event per each newly added reviewer.
Now we only send out a single event with all newly added reviewers. This
follows the example of the email notifications, where we also do not
send out one email notification for each newly added reviewers, but only
one batch email at the end.

The event for removing reviewers does not allow to provided multiple
removed reviewers, hence for reviewer removals we continue to send out
one event for each removed reviewer.

Adding CCs and adding/removing reviewers by email doesn't trigger any
event, hence we do not need to do anything for those.

Sending out one batch event instead of single events per reviewers
provides more flexibility for the listeners of the event, as they can
decide to do an operation per reviewer or a batch operation for all
reviewers. An example of such a listener is the code-owners plugin that
posts the paths that are owned by the reviewers as change message. So
far it was forced to post one change message per reviewer, but now it
can post a single change message that contains the owned paths for all
newly added reviewers. This improve the latency of the PostReview REST
endpoint because now we will do only a single NoteDb update instead of
one NoteDb updater per reviewer.

Speaking of the code-owners plugin this will also allow us to post the
change message asynchronously and thus reduce the latency for PostReview
calls (computing the owned paths is rather expensive and can contribute
significantly to the latency of PostReview). Posting the change messages
asynchronously when the event is received once per reviewer would not be
working that well, as it would mean posting a change message for each
new reviewer in parallel, which is prone to fail with LOCK_FAILURES.

Gerrit Code Review

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

Build Status Maven Central

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 Developer Mailing list is repo-discuss on Google Groups.

License

Gerrit is provided under the Apache License 2.0.

Build

Install Bazel and run the following:

    git clone --recurse-submodules 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 8 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritcodereview/gerrit[:version]-centos8

To run a Ubuntu 20.04 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritcodereview/gerrit[:version]-ubuntu20

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