Andreas Neumann commented on TEPHRA-99:
---------------------------------------
Unfortunately, there is no easy way for a client to find out whether a previous
transaction's read snapshot is still consistent. I think this would be an
excellent use case and motivation for read-only transactions (TEPHRA-159).
By the way, this would be a good discussion to have on the dev@ mailing list.
> Make "long running" transactions usable with TransactionContext

> Key: TEPHRA-99

> Project: Tephra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Reporter: Gary Helmling
> Assignee: Gary Helmling
>
> "Long running" transactions (type == LONG) are supported by the Tephra
> {{TransactionManager}}, but {{TransactionContext}} does not expose any way
> for clients to interact with them. I think this will require a couple
> changes:
> * add a {{startLong()}} method to TransactionContext
> * add a constructor to TransactionContext that takes an existing
> {{Transaction}} instance. Since long running transactions are often used in
> map reduce processing, the process committing the transaction may be
> different from the process that started the transaction. In this situation,
> we need a way to pass the serialized transaction all the way through to the
> other process.
> Regarding map reduce support, we could use additional utilities or support in
> place to make transactions easier to use with map reduce. But this would at
> least serve as a first step.
