/*
 * Two voltha cores receive the same request; each tries to acquire ownership of the request
 * by writing its identifier (e.g. container name or pod name) to the transaction key named
 * after the serial number of the request. The core that loses the race for acquisition
 * monitors the progress of the core actually serving the request by watching for changes
 * in the value of the transaction key. Once the request is complete, the
 * serving core closes the transaction by invoking the KVTransaction's Close method, which
 * replaces the value of the transaction (i.e. serial number) key with the string
 * TRANSACTION_COMPLETE. The standby core observes this update, stops watching the transaction,
 * and then deletes the transaction key.
 *
 * To ensure the key is removed despite possible standby core failures, a KV operation is
 * scheduled in the background on both cores to delete the key well after the transaction is
 * completed. The value of TransactionContext parameter timeToDeleteCompletedKeys should be
 * long enough, on the order of many seconds, to ensure the standby sees the transaction
 * closure. The aim is to prevent a growing list of TRANSACTION_COMPLETE values from loading
 * the KV store.
