Hi everyone,

I'm using cross-collection transactions a lot and, as ArangoDB's locking 
model is at the collection level and not the document, I'm thinking about 
how scalable this is when you have a lot of writes coming in.

So I was wondering:
1. Is it better to group all operations in a single transaction or when 
possible, break them down into several smaller transactions spanning less 
collections (all called sequentially within the same Foxx route)?

2. When chaining transactions, sometimes I have to pass data from one to 
the other; in that case, is it better to
a. use variables with a scope that spans all transactions:
var myVar;
db._executeTransaction({
 // set myVar
})
db._executeTransaction({
 // use myVar
})
b. pass those variables in and out of the transactions:
var myVar = db._executeTransaction({
})
db._executeTransaction({
 params: myVar
})

Thanks!
Thomas
