Commits a transaction. The request includes the mutations to be applied
to rows in the database. Commit might return an ABORTED error. This
can occur at any time; commonly, the cause is conflicts with concurrent
transactions. However, it can also happen for a variety of other
reasons. If Commit returns ABORTED, the caller should retry the
transaction from the beginning, reusing the same session. On very rare
occasions, Commit might return UNKNOWN. This can happen, for
example, if the client job experiences a 1+ hour networking failure. At
that point, Cloud Spanner has lost track of the transaction outcome and
we recommend that you perform another read from the database to see the
state of things as they are now.
For more information about retries and long-running operations, see
Understand connectors.
