Support temporarily read-only changes via NoteDbChangeState

Add a new piece of data to NoteDbChangeState indicating that a change
is read-only until a specified future time.  We use a timestamp
instead of a separate state to support a migration step where the job
doing the migration might die, so the change automatically becomes
read-write again without manual intervention.

This read-only state only needs to be checked while updating
ReviewDb, which includes an atomic update to the noteDbState field.
There are exactly two locations that do this atomic update:
ChangeRebuilderImpl#execute and BatchUpdate.ChangeTask#call.

We don't bother with attempting to double-check this field when doing
the corresponding NoteDb write, for example from NoteDbUpdateManager.
It's not possible when we're about to write to NoteDb to do a
race-free atomic read of both the read-only state from ReviewDb and
the ref in NoteDb that we're about to update. So, we just let the
NoteDb write attempt proceed. This turns out to not affect the
correctness of the migration process; the race condition is explained
in more detail in the commit that implements the migration process.

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.

License

Gerrit is provided under the Apache License 2.0.

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>]

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.
