feat(client): interactive transactions - #87
Conversation
A group of statements can now commit or roll back as one, on both the sync
and the async client:
with client.transaction() as tx:
tx.cypher("CREATE (:Person {name: $n})", {"n": "Alice"})
tx.cypher("CREATE (:Person {name: $n})", {"n": "Bob"})
The context manager commits when the block finishes and rolls back when it
raises; begin_transaction() returns the same handle for callers whose commit
point sits outside a block.
Three decisions are worth recording, all read out of the server rather than
assumed.
Transaction.cypher() takes no consistency arguments. The in-transaction path
ignores read concern, write concern, read preference and the causal index,
because the snapshot is fixed at the begin and durability is decided once at
the commit. Accepting arguments the server drops would only mislead.
A failed statement ends the transaction. The server discards the buffered
writes and consumes the handle on any statement error, so the handle is
marked closed here too: a later commit explains what happened instead of
relaying "unknown transaction id", and the context manager sends no rollback
for a transaction that is already gone. A rejected commit, which is where
conflicts surface, closes it the same way.
A rollback that fails while unwinding is swallowed. The exception the caller
needs is the one from their own block, and the server drops an unresolved
transaction on its own.
Also documents the two constraints a caller cannot see from the API: the
handle lives on the node that served the begin, so a transaction must hold
one connection, and an idle transaction is reaped after 30 seconds by
default, swept when another transaction begins rather than on a timer.
Six cases the unit tests cannot reach, since they need a real engine: both writes land on commit, a partial write is absent after a rollback, an explicit rollback discards its write, a buffered write is visible to its own transaction and to nobody else, a failed statement reports itself and leaves nothing behind, and commit answers with a usable applied index. The failing statement is a parse error rather than an unknown function or a division by zero, because this engine answers NULL for those two and neither would reach the abort path.
README gains a Transactions section: the context manager, the explicit begin/commit/rollback pair, what commit returns and why, and the two constraints a caller cannot infer from the API. The transaction lives on the node that opened it, so it has to hold one connection, and an idle one is collected after 30 seconds by default. The notebook covering the server-only surface gains a section that shows all three behaviours against a live server and checks each: both writes present after a commit, a write made before an exception absent afterwards, and a buffered write visible to its own transaction and to nobody else. Printing alone would let a rollback that silently kept its write read as success. Its environment probe now asks for `transaction` as well. Without that an older installed package imports cleanly and dies several cells later with an AttributeError, which reads as a broken notebook rather than a stale install.
The Colab table stopped at 03 and never gained 04, so the notebook that covers batch writes, consistency levels, time travel and now transactions was reachable only from demo/README.md. Its heading also claimed no setup is required, which is true of the first four and not of 04: those are distribution and durability features, so it needs a server. The note now says so and points at COORDINODE_ADDR and the Compose stack.

A gRPC failure is only sometimes an answer. DEADLINE_EXCEEDED, UNAVAILABLE, CANCELLED and UNKNOWN mean the request or its reply was lost in transit, so the server may have processed the call or never seen it. The transaction code treated every failure as a server rejection, which produced two bugs. A lost statement left the transaction alive on the server, holding its buffered writes until the idle sweep, because the client marked it aborted and rollback() then declined to send anything. Ambiguous statement failures now send a best-effort RollbackTransaction: if the statement never arrived this frees the server's state immediately, and if it did arrive the server answers "unknown transaction id" and there was nothing to free. "aborted" stays truthful either way, since no commit was sent. A lost commit reply was reported as an abort, telling the caller nothing was applied when everything may have been, which invites a retry that duplicates the writes. That case is now a distinct indeterminate state: later statements and commits explain that the outcome is unknown, and rollback() sends a best-effort cleanup but still raises, because "nothing reached the database" cannot be promised either way. An error that cannot even report a status code is read as ambiguous, not answered: the two misreadings are not symmetric. A needless cleanup costs one RPC; a wrongly claimed abort can duplicate writes. Regression tests cover all of it and were seen red before the fix: the cleanup rollback, its no-op repeat, the indeterminate marking, the refusal to promise a discard, the answered-rejection paths staying as they were, and the codeless-error default.
Two ways a malformed response passed through as ordinary data. BeginTransaction answering transaction_id=0 was forwarded unchanged, and zero is what ExecuteCypherRequest reserves for "no transaction": every statement of that supposed transaction would have auto-committed on its own, with the caller believing they had atomicity. It is refused now. The shared row decoder paired columns and values with a non-strict zip, so a row carrying more or fewer values than there are columns was silently truncated. The caller then received a dict with a key missing, which reads exactly like a property the node does not have. Strict pairing turns the mismatch into a ValueError at the decode point. Both carry regression tests seen red first, covering the short row and the long one rather than only one direction.
…cern The guard on `after_index` checked the wrong field. The server refuses the pair unless the READ concern is majority, saying so plainly: "readConcern=LOCAL is incompatible with afterClusterTime". The client demanded a majority WRITE concern instead, which was wrong in both directions: `read_concern="majority"` alone, the call the server actually accepts, was rejected here before it left the process, while `write_concern="majority"` alone was waved through and then refused by the server. Both were reproduced against a live server before the change. The docstrings, the README and the commit() return description carried the same wrong rule and now name the read concern. Found by strengthening the integration test for the applied index, per review: it asserted `isinstance(x, int)`, which cannot fail, and `x > 0`, which passes for any non-zero field. It now uses the index as the fence the docstring promises, and that is what surfaced the guard. Also in this commit, from the same review round: the notebook's transaction cell clears its own label before running, so rerunning it in a live kernel no longer accumulates a second credit/debit pair and fails its own exact check; the node-affinity claim is corrected in the README, the notebook and the class docstring, since one client is not by itself an affinity guarantee against a per-request balancer; the README documents server v0.5.0 as the floor for transactions, which the health check does not cover; and its explicit-API example suppresses a failing rollback so it cannot replace the original exception.

…not see Four gaps, all in paths that only appear when something goes wrong. A cancelled commit left the transaction open. `asyncio.CancelledError` is a BaseException, so `except grpc.RpcError` never sees it, and a deadline enforced by `asyncio.timeout()` arrives that way rather than as DEADLINE_EXCEEDED. The server may have applied everything, which is exactly the case the indeterminate state exists for, so it is marked indeterminate now. A cancelled statement closes the transaction too: no commit was sent, so nothing of it can apply. A rollback whose request was lost left the handle open, letting a caller add statements to, or commit, a transaction they had asked to discard. The state is terminal before the call now, and the transport error still propagates so they know the request did not land. The discard promise holds either way, since no commit was ever sent. Statement failures no longer classify the gRPC code at all. Classifying was how RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED slipped through: the client raises it when a reply exceeds its own receive limit, after the server has executed the statement and kept the transaction open, so the buffered writes sat there until the idle sweep. Cleanup is harmless whatever the server did, so it is now unconditional, and the next unclassified code cannot leak a transaction either. The classifier stays for the commit, where the question is whether the writes applied and no follow-up request can answer it. The package README, which is what PyPI publishes, still carried the old causal-read rule and an example that now always raises. The root README was corrected earlier; this one was missed. Three existing tests asserted the statement classification and are rewritten for the contract that replaced it, not weakened: exactly one cleanup and never a commit, no second cleanup from an explicit rollback, and the caller's own error reaching them unchanged even when the cleanup itself fails.

Cancelling a statement mid-flight closed the local handle without any cleanup, on the reasoning that an await inside a cancellation handler would only be cancelled again. But the cancellation can arrive after the server accepted the statement, leaving the transaction alive there with its buffered writes and a pinned snapshot until the idle sweep, and with the handle closed nothing later could free it. The best-effort rollback now runs as a detached task (referenced until done so the loop cannot collect it mid-flight), which survives the calling task's cancellation. A cancelled COMMIT stays asymmetric on purpose: the writes may already be applied, so the handle goes indeterminate and no rollback is sent, since it could only discard a transaction whose outcome the client does not know. Regression tests cancel a real in-flight task (seen failing before the fix) and pin the commit-side asymmetry.
The README and the notebook stated a v0.5.0 floor while everything in the repository pins and integration-tests against v0.5.5, the latest release. A server between those versions could pass the health check and still refuse the transaction RPCs the docs promised it had. The documented floor is now the tested release.

The old classification allowlisted four transport codes as ambiguous and read every other status as a definitive rejection. But codes like RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED or INTERNAL can be generated inside the client while receiving or decoding a reply the server already acted on - a receive size limit hit on the commit's own response, most concretely - and calling those "aborted" tells the caller nothing was applied when everything may have been, inviting a duplicate retry. The test is now inverted to positive proof of an answer: a status code the transport never fabricates locally, or the server's structured error details in the trailing metadata (every rejection the server classifies carries them). Anything else marks the transaction indeterminate. Regression tests (seen failing before the fix): a bare RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED and a bare INTERNAL read as indeterminate, while the same RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED carrying the server's details trailer stays a plain abort.
…dline Two lifecycle holes in the detached cancellation cleanup. First, the task raced client shutdown: __aexit__ could close the shared channel (and asyncio.run cancels pending tasks) before the rollback ran, so it failed against a dead transport, the suppression swallowed that, and the server kept the transaction until the idle sweep. Cleanup tasks are now tracked per client and close() awaits them BEFORE the channel goes away. Second, the rollback inherited the client's full request timeout, so a statement that already burned a 30-second deadline could be followed by a cleanup burning another one, for an answer nobody reads; cleanup RPCs now use their own short deadline, which also bounds how long the close-time drain can take. Regression tests (seen failing before the fix): close() returning only after a deliberately slow rollback completes, and the cleanup rollback carrying the short deadline rather than the client's.
The transaction snippets referenced a `db` whose defining `with` block from the Quick Start had already closed by the time a reader reaches them in the same interpreter, and pasted independently they had no client at all. Each example now opens its own client context, so it runs exactly as shown.

Two edges around error handling. The causal-read guard called .strip() on the read_concern before the consistency validators ran, so a non-string value crashed with AttributeError instead of the ValueError every other invalid consistency argument gets; the guard now checks the type itself. And both transaction context managers suppressed only Exception around the exit rollback, so a rollback cancelled on the way out (CancelledError is a BaseException) replaced the block's own error; the suppression now covers cancellation too, and if the surrounding task is being cancelled that cancellation still resurfaces at its next await. Regression tests (seen failing before the fix): a non-string read_concern with after_index raises ValueError, and both context managers preserve the block's ValueError over a cancelled rollback.
The example caught Exception, so a Ctrl-C between begin and commit skipped the rollback and left the server-side transaction to the idle sweep - unlike the context managers, which already catch BaseException. The example now matches them.

…errupt unwind Three fixes, each with a regression test seen failing first. Both context managers now retry the bounded best-effort request on a NORMAL exit when the handle is aborted with the cleanup unconfirmed — a failed statement whose own cleanup also failed, its error caught inside the block, no longer leaves the server transaction to the idle sweep. The cleanup-confirmed flag now falls when cleanup is REQUESTED even if the closing gate skips the spawn, so an explicit rollback() after a reconnect retries instead of trusting a cleanup that never ran. And a sync transaction block unwound by Ctrl-C or SystemExit no longer holds the exit for the full request deadline: the handle closes as aborted and the exit sends one bounded cleanup request instead of the ordinary rollback.

…exit, sync interrupts win Three fixes, each with a regression test seen failing first. A transaction rolled back directly (no context manager) and cancelled mid-RPC now hands its cleanup to a detached task itself — a cancelled owner may never call again and there is no exit handler to retry for it. The exceptional exit gains the aborted-with-unconfirmed-cleanup retry the normal exit already had, covering a block that catches a failed statement and raises a different error. And the sync context manager's cleanup suppressions are narrowed from BaseException to ordinary failures, so a fresh Ctrl-C or SystemExit arriving mid-cleanup propagates instead of being traded for the earlier commit error. Detached cleanup spawns are now deduplicated per transaction: several unwinding layers can each request one (the cancelled rollback itself, then the context manager on its way out), and one pending bounded attempt is enough.

… retry indeterminate Three fixes, each with a regression test seen failing first. The begin RPC now runs shielded in its own task: cancellation landing after the server allocated the transaction but before the reply reached the caller used to lose the only copy of the id — the late reply is now collected detached and handed straight to a rollback, drained by close() like every other cleanup. An async block unwound by KeyboardInterrupt or SystemExit detaches its cleanup instead of holding the exit for the full request deadline, mirroring the sync context manager. And rollback() on an indeterminate handle whose best-effort request is cancelled mid-RPC spawns the detached retry before propagating, since a direct caller has no exit handler to do it.

The retry that rollback() sends for an aborted handle with an unconfirmed cleanup, when cancelled mid-RPC, now hands the cleanup to a detached task before propagating — same rule the open and indeterminate branches already follow: a direct caller has no exit handler to retry for it, and close() drains only registered tasks.

… unknown-id cleanup Four fixes, each with a regression test seen failing first. The shielded begin RPC is now wrapped in a coroutine: a real grpc.aio stub returns a UnaryUnaryCall awaitable, not a coroutine object, and create_task() rejected it with TypeError on every real begin_transaction() — AsyncMock had hidden this, so the new test wires a call-like awaitable the way the transport does. A KeyboardInterrupt or SystemExit raised from inside an awaited statement or commit now settles the handle (aborted with detached cleanup, or indeterminate) instead of parking it in-flight forever. And a cleanup rollback the server answers with NOT_FOUND (unknown transaction id) now reads as confirmed — nothing is held under that id — so no redundant retries follow and an explicit rollback() can settle the handle, while lost requests stay retriable.

…ep statement errors Three fixes, each with a regression test seen failing first. The reclaimer that collects a cancelled begin's late reply is now bounded by the cleanup deadline rather than the request timeout: close() drains it before releasing the transport, so a stalled begin no longer holds shutdown for the full thirty seconds. rollback() passes through a transient rolling_back state instead of settling before its RPC returns, so a context manager exiting over a rollback started in a background task sees unfinished work rather than a finished transaction; the three in-flight states now share one table. And a CancelledError raised by the transport during a statement's inline cleanup no longer replaces the statement's own gRPC error — only a real pending cancellation of the task supersedes it, matching the rule the context manager already follows.

A CancelledError raised by the transport during a cleanup — with nobody having cancelled the task — no longer supersedes the outcome the caller needs: the automatic commit's own error survives it, and a clean exit stays clean. The rule already applied to the statement path and the context manager's rollback; it now covers every cleanup site through one helper, so a real pending cancellation still propagates (asyncio does not re-inject a swallowed one) while a spurious one only detaches the retry. The normal exit also yields one loop turn before deciding: a statement queued with create_task and never awaited had not reached its state reservation, so the block auto-committed and reported success while that write was silently dropped. The ready queue is FIFO, so the queued task takes its first step ahead of the exit and the in-flight guard sees it.

…errors Two fixes, each with a regression test seen failing first. The exit's scheduling yield sits in the else suite, where a cancellation escapes every handler above it: an open transaction walked away with neither rollback nor detached cleanup. That unwind logic now lives in one method the block's cancellation handler and the guarded yield both call, so the two cannot drift — which is exactly how the second bug appeared: the exceptional exit's indeterminate cleanup was the one site still re-raising a transport-raised CancelledError over the block's own error. It now follows the same rule as every other cleanup.

The guard catches a block that exits while an operation it started is still running. It does not catch one that queued an operation which then failed instantly, and a reviewer reasonably asked for that too. It cannot. By the time the exit looks, such an operation has finished, and its handle reads exactly like one belonging to a block that awaited the failure and chose to ignore it. Whether a result was ever retrieved lives inside the asyncio.Task and is not observable from the coroutine, and a task nobody awaits still runs to completion, so there is no signal to read. Treating a failed statement as misuse would reject the legitimate case. Written down at the guard so the next reader reaches the same conclusion without re-deriving it.
Picks up ConnectionStatus and Configure on the session stream. The SDK does not use them yet: they need a server release that carries them, and implementing against an unreleased contract would ship code no deployed node answers. Taking the definitions now keeps the generated stubs in step with the protocol repository, so the client change lands as client code alone when the release is out.

A transaction the idle sweep had already reclaimed answered its owner's rollback() with NOT_FOUND, and the handler read that as a request whose fate was unknown: it closed the handle as aborted with the cleanup unconfirmed and re-raised. The caller was told their discard had failed when nothing was held any more and nothing had ever been committed, and the only way to settle the handle was a second rollback that could only be answered the same way. NOT_FOUND is the one code that says where the transaction is rather than leaving it in doubt, so this branch now finishes on it: the discard the method promises has happened, the handle is rolled back, and there is nothing left to retry. The cleanup path already read the answer this way; the caller's own path now agrees with it. Every other code still leaves the request's fate unknown and keeps the retriable handling. Carries a regression test for a direct rollback answered NOT_FOUND, which returns, settles terminally, and sends exactly one request.

The rule for cleaning up a transaction on an exit that already has its own outcome to report was written out five times: run the bounded best-effort rollback, swallow its failure, and let only a real cancellation through after handing the interrupted request to a detached retry. Two states reach that rule, a lost commit reply and a failed statement whose own cleanup failed, and each of the three exit paths spelled it out once per state. A later change to the rule would have had five places to reach and no way to notice it had missed one. The rule is now a single method, and the two states that share it share a branch, since what differs between them is only why the transaction might still be held, not what to do about it. That reasoning stays, merged into one comment per exit rather than repeated per state. No behaviour changes: the two conditions were already mutually exclusive and disjoint from the in-flight states between them, so the merge only removes duplicate text. Also pins where the interrupt comes from in the sync-scope cleanup test. Its scope has to stay inside pytest.raises, because the exit is what the test exercises, so the statement's await count is what distinguishes an interrupt raised there from one raised by any other phase.
The server this client is tested against moves to 0.5.7: the driver submodule to that tag, and the image every stack runs to the digest 0.5.7 resolves to today. Quick start, demo and the integration job stay on one server, which is the point of pinning them to the same digest rather than to a tag that can be re-pushed. The proto submodule needs no move: it already carries the definitions 0.5.7 was built from, so the stubs generated here and the server speak the same wire.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When the statement RPC succeeds but _rows_to_dicts() raises—such as on the newly rejected column/value shape mismatch—the handle has already been restored to open. If the caller catches that decoding error inside a transaction context, the normal exit then commits the statement's buffered writes even though tx.cypher() reported a failure. Decode before reopening the handle, and conservatively abort and clean up when decoding fails.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When tx.rollback() raises a transport-originated asyncio.CancelledError, this suppress(Exception) does not catch it because CancelledError derives from BaseException. The cleanup error therefore replaces the statement, commit, or interrupt that entered this handler, contradicting the example's stated guarantee; mirror the synchronous transaction context's explicit suppression of asyncio.CancelledError here.

The notebook tells users that v0.5.5 is the release this client is tested against, but this change moves the integration workflow and both Compose stacks to v0.5.7 and states v0.5.7 as the transaction floor in the root README. A user following this notebook can therefore pass its health check on the advertised older server and only discover the incompatibility at the transaction cell; keep this prerequisite aligned with the v0.5.7 configuration actually exercised here.

When an ordinary block exception starts this inline rollback and KeyboardInterrupt or SystemExit then interrupts the rollback RPC, AsyncTransaction.rollback() leaves the handle aborted with cleanup unconfirmed and re-raises, but neither handler here matches that process-control exception. Unlike the already-handled case where the block itself raises the interrupt, no detached retry is registered, so client.close() has nothing to drain and the server transaction can remain until its idle sweep; schedule cleanup before propagating the fresh interrupt.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
Moving the driver submodule to 0.5.7 broke the embedded build: its crates are path dependencies, so the storage engine they pull from the registry is resolved by this lock, and the lock still named 5.7.0. The engine release needs the 5.8 surface, so it compiled against an older one and failed on every API it expected to find. The lock moves to what 0.5.7 needs, and the manifest now says why the two have to move together, since nothing else connects them: the submodule pointer and this file live in different commits' worth of context, and the build is the only place the mismatch shows.

Summary
A group of statements can now commit or roll back as one, on both clients:
The context manager commits when the block finishes and rolls back when it
raises;
begin_transaction()returns the same handle for callers whose commitpoint sits outside a block. Wired to the gRPC transaction RPCs the server has
carried since v0.5.5, so no server or schema change is involved; the pin here
moves to v0.5.7, the release everything in this repository now runs against.
Decisions worth reviewing
All three read out of the server rather than assumed:
Transaction.cypher()takes no consistency arguments. The in-transactionpath ignores read concern, write concern, read preference and the causal
index, because the snapshot is fixed at begin and durability is decided once
at commit. Accepting arguments the server drops would only mislead.
writes and consumes the handle on any answered statement error, so the
handle is marked closed here too: a later commit explains what happened
instead of relaying "unknown transaction id". A rejected commit, where
conflicts surface, closes it the same way.
missing (a deadline, a dropped channel, a cancelled task) becomes a distinct
indeterminate state rather than an abort: claiming nothing was applied
invites a retry that duplicates every write, so
rollback()there sends acleanup attempt and still raises rather than promising a discard.
Cancellation is handled explicitly, since it arrives as a BaseException that
an
except grpc.RpcErrornever sees.the transaction is harmless whatever it did: if it aborted, the request is
answered "unknown transaction id" and swallowed; if it kept the transaction
(a lost request, or a size limit the client hit while receiving the reply)
the buffered writes are freed now rather than at the idle sweep. Classifying
the code here was how the client-side limit slipped through, so the
classification is gone from this path and kept only for the commit, where it
answers a question no follow-up request can.
statement to a transaction they asked to discard; the transport error
propagates so they know the request was lost. The exception is
NOT_FOUND,the one answer that says where the transaction is rather than leaving it in
doubt: nothing is held and no commit was ever sent, so the discard the method
promises has happened, and it settles rather than reporting a failure the
caller would have to send a second rollback to clear.
the applied index (review) surfaced that the client's
after_indexguardchecked the write concern instead. It rejected the call the server accepts
and accepted the one it refuses; both directions were reproduced against a
live server and are now covered.
caller needs is the one from their own block, and the server reaps an
unresolved transaction on its own. That suppression includes a CANCELLED
rollback (
CancelledErroris a BaseException), and a context-managedcommit that ends indeterminate sends the same bounded best-effort request
on the way out: if the commit never reached the server this frees the
transaction, if it applied the server answers "unknown id".
a status code the transport never fabricates locally, or the server's
structured error details in the trailing metadata. A bare
RESOURCE_EXHAUSTEDorINTERNALcan be generated inside the client whilereceiving a reply the server already acted on, so those read as
indeterminate rather than inviting a duplicate retry.
cancelled mid-flight (or whose inline cleanup is itself cancelled) spawns a
detached best-effort rollback, tracked per client;
close()drains the setuntil it is stable, shielded so cancelling
close()cannot kill thecleanups, BEFORE releasing the channel, and afterwards late cancellations
forfeit their cleanup to the server's idle sweep instead of spawning a task
against a dead transport. Cleanup RPCs carry their own short deadline,
capped by the client's configured timeout, so a failed statement never
doubles the caller's worst case. The synchronous boundary cancels and
drains a statement task left pending by an interruption (Ctrl-C), so it
cannot silently resume inside the next call, and an interrupted sync
commit is recorded indeterminate.
Documentation
README gains a Transactions section including the two constraints a caller
cannot see from the API: the handle lives on the node that served the begin, so
a transaction holds one connection, and an idle transaction is reaped after 30
seconds by default. The notebook covering the server-only surface demonstrates
commit, rollback and isolation with each claim checked rather than printed, and
its environment probe now asks for
transactionso a stale install stops withan explanation instead of an AttributeError several cells later. The root
README also gains the row for that notebook, which had been missing from the
Colab table entirely.
Testing
Some 60 unit tests over the state machine and the cleanup lifecycle (which
RPC is sent, which is declined, which error the caller sees; cancellation,
interruption, shutdown ordering, and commit-failure classification), driven
through real generated proto messages; every behavioural fix was first seen
red on the unfixed code. 6 integration tests against a live server, including
the one the feature exists for: after an exception mid-block, no partial write
is in the database. Full suite: 241 unit + 78 integration green, ruff clean,
notebook executed end to end via nbconvert against the live server with
outputs read.
