+ <p>To enable full ACID transactions, a beta feature available in the 4.7.0 release, set the <tt>phoenix.transactions.enabled</tt> property to true. In this case, youâll also need to run the transaction manager thatâs included in the distribution. Once enabled, a table may optionally be declared as transactional (see <a href="transactions.html">here</a> for directions). Commits over transactional tables will have an all-or-none behavior - either all data will be committed (including any updates to secondary indexes) or none of it will (and an exception will be thrown). Both cross table and cross row transactions are supported. In addition, transactional tables will see their own uncommitted data when querying. An optimistic concurrency model is used to detect row level conflicts with first commit wins semantics. The later commit would produce an exception indicating that a conflict was detected. A transaction is started implicitly when a transactional table is referenced i
n a statement, at which point you will not see updates from other connections until either a commit or rollback occurs.</p>

In addition, non transactional tables will not see their updates until after a commit has occurred. The DML commands of Apache Phoenix, UPSERT VALUES, UPSERT SELECT and DELETE, batch pending changes to HBase tables on the client side. The changes are sent to the server when the transaction is committed and discarded when the transaction is rolled back.
