+`Table` also enables to commit multiple table operations at once.
Review comment:
I think we should either remove this empty section or expand it a bit
beyond what you have here. How about this?
> Transactions are used to commit multiple table changes in a single atomic
operation. A transaction is used to create individual operations using factory
methods, like `newAppend`, just like working with a `Table`. But operations
created by a transaction are committed as a group when `commitTransaction` is
called.
```java
Transaction t = table.newTrasaction();
// commit operations to the transaction
t.newDelete().deleteFromRowFilter(filter).commit();
t.newAppend().appendFile(data).commit();
// commit all the changes to the table
t.commitTransaction();
```
