> Umbrella JIRA for several transaction related improvements:
> 1. Async options for commit/rollback
> - they don't really make sense as a user you don't get any guarantee on the status of the transaction
> - they complicate the code significantly
> - I think they should be removed
> 2. READ_COMMITTED
> - it has the same performance as REPEATABLE_READ, but offers less guarantees. 
> - unlike REPEATABLE_READ, it also behaves inconsistently when the data is owned by transaction originator
> - I think it should be removed
> 3. Optimistic tx without Write Skew Check (WSC)
> - well, without WSC the transactions are not optimistic by definition 
> - they are something else: an batch update of multiple key/values. If the batch is successful you know the update was atomic. If it failed you don't get any guarantee
> - suggestion: optimistic tx should *always* have WSC enabled (no option to configure it)
> - build our batching functionality on top of what currently is optimistic tx without WSC and document it as such
> 4. Remove 1PC option
> - I'm not totally sure about it, but does it really make sense to have 1PC as an option? they don't offer any consistency guarantees so async API + non tx do about the same thing
