[tlaplus] Re: How do we use the transaction api in spec？

For multiply keys transaction access, we just wrapped it's ops as an action which is atomic or put in a label if using pluscal. In my humble knowledge, this way will impl multiply keys transaction atomic. But no any concurrency control, and no any concurrency the txns can use, so the performance will low. Am i right?

I think OpenTx(t),Add(t, k, v),Update(t, k, v),Remove(t, k),RollbackTx(t),CloseTx(t) in the example are the txn apis, In my spec i can instant the example spec and use those api.

If you want functionality like snapshot isolation for each transaction you'll need to write the logic in TLA+ yourself. There is an example of a key-value store with snapshot isolation on the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TLA%2B#Examples

Always we may need external consistency or strict Serializable , or serializable , even snapshot isolation level.

So how do we use this api in an spec?
I see too many spec impl transaction to verfiy the consistency or the atomic. But What is the transaction api it expose? such as beginop, keyops, commit/abort?
