> In pre-ACID days, users perform operations such as INSERT with either
> ZooKeeperHiveLockManager or no lock manager at all. If their workflow is
> designed to take advantage of no locking and they take care of the control of
> concurrency, this works well with good performance.
> With ACID, if users enable transactions (i.e. using DbTxnManager &
> DbLockManager), then for all the operations, different types of locks will be
> acquired accordingly by DbLockManager, even for non-ACID resources. This may
> impact the performance of some workflows designed for pre-ACID use cases.
> A viable solution would be to differentiate the locking mode for ACID and
> non-ACID resources, so that DbLockManager will continue its current behavior
> for ACID tables, but will be able to acquire a less strict lock type for
> non-ACID resources, thus avoiding the performance loss for those workflows.
