From a quick glance it seems not to be integrated yet. That's not very hard however. Please have a look at this commit moveit/moveit@51cff82 and try to do the same for InformedRRTstar. Then please open a pull request (PR) so everybody can enjoy it

I have achieved to call InforemedRRTstar in moveit. But now I don't know which optimization_objective to choice.

[simonschmeisser]

Please provide a PR to add InformedRRTstar so others can profit as well. I don't understand your question unfortunately but generally you can add the optimization_objective to your ompl_planning.yaml as you can see here: https://ros-planning.github.io/moveit_tutorials/doc/ompl_interface/ompl_interface_tutorial.html#ompl-optimization-objectives

After few days research，I know that InformedRRTstar should choice "PathLengthOptimizationObjective" as optimization_objective in ompl_planning.yaml. InfomedRRTstar will use PathLengthDirectInfSampler as informed sample. But i encounter a problem: in the algorithm of PHS, the GoalSample should be used , but the goal state can not be sampled.
