Summary: [IndexedDB] Remove the SNAPSHOT_READ transaction mode
Product: WebAppsWG
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1

We currently have two read-only transaction modes, READ_ONLY and SNAPSHOT_READ,
that are identical in every aspect (point-in-time consistency for readers,
allow multiple concurrent readers, etc.), except that they have different
concurrency characteristics, with READ_ONLY blocking writers and SNAPSHOT_READ
allowing concurrent writers come and go while readers are active.
We agreed (see [1]) that we could remove the concept and only have READ_ONLY,
leaving it up to the implementation whether writers block readers or readers
are allowed and some mechanism is used to maintain point-in-time consistency
semantics.
