Revert "Fix the missing DB entry in Gerrit DB"

This reverts commit fcc90699fdec17b941a473221d228c832a533fc0.

Reason for revert: Security vulnerability for OAuth and OpenID auth
schemes.

OAuth and OpenID authentication schemes support multiple identity
providers, e.g.: CAS-OAuth2 and GitHub-OAuth2. An attacker can easily
impersonate existing Gerrit user by creating account on a different
provider with exactly the same username as the existing Gerrit account.
Instead of creating a fresh new user, the new account is erroneously
linked to the existing Gerrit account, even though, account linking
feature was not triggered from the Gerrit UI.

The original commit tried to fix intermittent database corruption
problem, with missing record in the database, in the context of single
identity provider (LDAP) where such problem doesn't exist, as there is
no way that one single username can belong to physical different users.
Nevertheless, there should be found another workaround, as trying to
recover on the fly and introducing severe security breach for other auth
schemes supported in Gerrit.

If all else fails, the missing database record has to be inserted
manually and the corresponding account must be re-indexed.

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.

Build

Install Bazel and run the following:

    git clone --recursive 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 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.
