Review comment:
       We the  goal is with `openTransaction()` and the `commitTransaction()` 
to allow embedding method calls and keeping / enforcing transactions around 
them.
   
   So if `listStorageDescriptorsWithCD()` is never called from 
non-transactional methods then adding `openTransaction()` and 
`commitTransaction()` is redundant. We wrap the calls into transactions if want 
to make sure to run the code in a transaction whenever it is called.
   
   Wrapping a read only query in a transaction does not really make sense. It 
is either good without a transaction, or it requires a transaction because of 
the wider context, and then it is the callers responsibility to handle the 
transaction open/close. **So you are right, we do not need the transaction for 
the select itself.**

> In order to workaround oracle not supporting limit statement caused 
> performance issue, HIVE-9447 makes all the backend DB run select count(1) 
> from SDS where SDS.CD_ID=? to check if the specific CD_ID is referenced in 
> SDS table before drop a partition. This select count(1) statement does not 
> scale well in Postgres, and there is no index for CD_ID column in SDS table.
> For a SDS table with with 1.5 million rows, select count(1) has average 700ms 
> without index, while in 10-20ms with index. But the statement before 
> HIVE-9447( SELECT * FROM "SDS" "A0" WHERE "A0"."CD_ID" = $1 limit 1) uses 
> less than 10ms .
