/**
*
* The CacheTransactionManager interface allows applications to manage transactions on a per
* {@link Cache} basis.
*
*
* The life cycle of a GemFire transaction starts with a begin operation. The life cycle ends with
* either a commit or rollback operation. Between the begin and the commit/rollback are typically
* {@link Region} operations. In general, those that either create, destroy, invalidate or update
* {@link Region.Entry} are considered transactional, that is they modify transactional state.
*
*
* A GemFire transaction may involve operations on multiple regions, each of which may have
* different attributes.
*
*
* While a GemFire transaction and its operations are invoked in the local VM, the resulting
* transaction state is distributed to other VM's at commit time as per the attributes of each
* participant Region.
*
*
* A transaction can have no more than one thread associated with it and conversely a thread can
* only operate on one transaction at any given time. Child threads will not inherit the existing
* transaction.
*
*
* Each of the following methods operate on the current thread. All methods throw
* {@link CacheClosedException} if the Cache is closed.
*
*
* GemFire Transactions currently only support Read Committed isolation. In addition, they are
* optimistic transactions in that write locking and conflict checks are performed as part of the
* commit operation.
*
*
* For guaranteed Read Committed isolation, avoid making "in place" changes, because such changes
* will be "seen" by other transactions and break the Read Committed isolation guarantee. e.g.
*
*
* CacheTransactionManager txMgr = cache.getCacheTransactionManager();
* txMgr.begin();
* StringBuffer s = (StringBuffer) r.get("stringBuf");
* s.append("Changes seen before commit. NOT Read Committed!");
* r.put("stringBuf", s);
* txMgr.commit();
*
*
*
* To aid in creating copies, the "copy on read" Cache attribute and the
* {@link org.apache.geode.CopyHelper#copy} method are provided. The following is a Read Committed
* safe example using the CopyHelper.copy method.
*
*
* CacheTransactionManager txMgr = cache.getCacheTransactionManager();
* txMgr.begin();
* Object o = r.get("stringBuf");
* StringBuffer s = (StringBuffer) CopyHelper.copy(o);
* s.append("Changes unseen before commit. Read Committed.");
* r.put("stringBuf", s);
* txMgr.commit();
*
*
*
* Its important to note that creating copies can negatively impact both performance and memory
* consumption.
*
*
* Partitioned Regions, Distributed No Ack and Distributed Ack Regions are supported (see
* {@link AttributesFactory} for Scope). For both scopes, a consistent configuration (per VM) is
* enforced.
*
*
* Global Regions, client Regions (see org.apache.geode.cache.client package) and persistent Regions
* (see {@link DiskWriteAttributes}) do not support transactions.
*
*
* When PartitionedRegions are involved in a transaction, all data in the transaction must be
* colocated together on one data node. See the GemFire Developer Guide for details on using
* transactions with Partitioned Regions.
