/**
 * The Transaction is used to protect the BTree against concurrent modification,
 * and insure that a read is always done against one single revision. It's also
 * used to gather many modifications under one single revision, if needed.
 * <p/>
 * A Transaction should be closed when the user is done with it, otherwise the
 * pages associated with the given revision, and all the referenced pages, will
 * remain on the storage.
 * <p/>
 * A Transaction can be hold for quite a long time, for instance while doing
 * a browse against a big BTree. At some point, transactions which are pending
 * for too long will be closed by the transaction manager.
