// ReadWriteTransaction provides a locking read-write transaction.
//
// This type of transaction is the only way to write data into Cloud Spanner;
// (*Client).Apply and (*Client).ApplyAtLeastOnce use transactions
// internally. These transactions rely on pessimistic locking and, if
// necessary, two-phase commit. Locking read-write transactions may abort,
// requiring the application to retry. However, the interface exposed by
// (*Client).ReadWriteTransaction eliminates the need for applications to write
// retry loops explicitly.
//
// Locking transactions may be used to atomically read-modify-write data
// anywhere in a database. This type of transaction is externally consistent.
//
// Clients should attempt to minimize the amount of time a transaction is
// active. Faster transactions commit with higher probability and cause less
// contention. Cloud Spanner attempts to keep read locks active as long as the
// transaction continues to do reads.  Long periods of inactivity at the client
// may cause Cloud Spanner to release a transaction's locks and abort it.
//
// Reads performed within a transaction acquire locks on the data being
// read. Writes can only be done at commit time, after all reads have been
// completed. Conceptually, a read-write transaction consists of zero or more
// reads or SQL queries followed by a commit.
//
// See (*Client).ReadWriteTransaction for an example.
//
// Semantics
//
// Cloud Spanner can commit the transaction if all read locks it acquired are still
// valid at commit time, and it is able to acquire write locks for all
// writes. Cloud Spanner can abort the transaction for any reason. If a commit
// attempt returns ABORTED, Cloud Spanner guarantees that the transaction has not
// modified any user data in Cloud Spanner.
//
// Unless the transaction commits, Cloud Spanner makes no guarantees about how long
// the transaction's locks were held for. It is an error to use Cloud Spanner locks
// for any sort of mutual exclusion other than between Cloud Spanner transactions
// themselves.
//
// Aborted transactions
//
// Application code does not need to retry explicitly; RunInTransaction will
// automatically retry a transaction if an attempt results in an abort. The
// lock priority of a transaction increases after each prior aborted
// transaction, meaning that the next attempt has a slightly better chance of
// success than before.
//
// Under some circumstances (e.g., many transactions attempting to modify the
// same row(s)), a transaction can abort many times in a short period before
// successfully committing. Thus, it is not a good idea to cap the number of
// retries a transaction can attempt; instead, it is better to limit the total
// amount of wall time spent retrying.
//
// Idle transactions
//
// A transaction is considered idle if it has no outstanding reads or SQL
// queries and has not started a read or SQL query within the last 10
// seconds. Idle transactions can be aborted by Cloud Spanner so that they don't hold
// on to locks indefinitely. In that case, the commit will fail with error
// ABORTED.
//
// If this behavior is undesirable, periodically executing a simple SQL query
// in the transaction (e.g., SELECT 1) prevents the transaction from becoming
// idle.
