------------------------------------

             Summary: Transactional documentation is unclear
                 Key: HIVE-11219
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11219
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Transactions
            Reporter: Johndee Burks
            Priority: Minor


At the  [this|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+Transactions] link the following is said. 

"If a table is to be used in ACID writes (insert, update, delete) then the table property "transactional" must be set on that table, starting with Hive 0.14.0.  Without this value, inserts will be done in the old style; updates and deletes will be prohibited.  However, this does not apply to Hive 0.13.0."

It does not tell you what the value of transactional should be. I think we should say it needs to be true and we should show an example DDL.
