Analytics extraction plugin

Extract commit and review data from Gerrit projects and expose aggregated metrics over REST and SSH API.

How to build

Clone the analytics plugin into an existing Gerrit source tree under /plugins/analytics and then execute buck build.

Example:

   $ git clone https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
   $ git clone https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/analytics gerrit/plugins/analytics
   $ cd gerrit
   $ buck build plugins/analytics

How to install

Copy the analytics.jar generated under /buck-out/gen/plugins/analytics/analytics.jar onto Gerrit's /plugins directory.

How to configure

Nothing to configure, it just works.

How to use

Adds new REST API and SSH commands to allow the extraction of repository statistics from Gerrit repositories and changes.

API

All the API share the same syntax and behaviour. Differently from the standard Gerrit REST API, the JSON collections are returned as individual lines and streamed over the socket I/O. The choice is driven by the fact that the typical consumer of these API is a BigData batch process, typically external to Gerrit and hosted on a separate computing cluster.

A large volume of data can be potentially generated: splitting the output file into separate lines helps the BigData processing in the splitting, shuffling and sorting phase.

Contributors

Extract a unordered list of project contributors statistics, including the commits data relevant for statistics purposes, such as timestamp and merge flag.

REST

/projects/{project-name}/analytics~contributors

SSH

analytics contributors {project-name}

REST Example:

   $ curl http://gerrit.mycompany.com/project/myproyject/analytics~contributors

   {"name":"John Doe","email":"john.doe@mycompany.com","num_commits":1,"commits":[{"sha1":"6a1f73738071e299f600017d99f7252d41b96b4b","date":"Apr 28, 2011 5:13:14 AM","merge":false}]}
   {"name":"Matt Smith","email":"matt.smith@mycompany.com","num_commits":1,"commits":[{"sha1":"54527e7e3086758a23e3b069f183db6415aca304","date":"Sep 8, 2015 3:11:23 AM","merge":true}]}

SSH Example:

   $ ssh -p 29418 admin@gerrit.mycompany.com analytics contributors

   {"name":"John Doe","email":"john.doe@mycompany.com","num_commits":1,"commits":[{"sha1":"6a1f73738071e299f600017d99f7252d41b96b4b","date":"Apr 28, 2011 5:13:14 AM","merge":false}]}
