Important Notes

WARNING: There are no schema changes from 2.9.3, but when upgrading from an existing site that was initialized with Gerrit version 2.6 to version 2.9.1 the primary key column order will be updated for some tables. It is therefore important to upgrade the site with the init program, rather than only copying the .war file over the existing one.

It is recommended to run the init program in interactive mode. Warnings will be suppressed in batch mode.

  java -jar gerrit.war init -d site_path

WARNING: When upgrading from version 2.8.4 or older with a site that uses Bouncy Castle Crypto, new versions of the libraries will be downloaded. The old libraries should be manually removed from site’s lib folder to prevent the startup failure described in Issue 3084.
