/**
 * Session are created by the clients to envelope a "piece of work" with evitaDB. In web environment it's a good idea

 * There may be multiple {@link TransactionContract transaction} during single session instance life but there is no support
 * for transactional overlap - there may be at most single transaction open in single session.
 *
 * EvitaSession transaction behave like Snapshot
 * transaction. When no transaction is explicitly opened - each query to Evita behaves as one small transaction. Data
 * updates are not allowed without explicitly opened transaction.
 *
 * Remember to {@link #close()} when your work with Evita is finished.
 * EvitaSession contract is NOT thread safe.
