- * A transaction that provides mutation capabilities on a data tree.
+ * Write transaction provides mutation capabilities for a data tree.
  *
  * <p>
- * For more information on usage and examples, please see the documentation in {@link AsyncWriteTransaction}.
+ * Initial state of write transaction is a stable snapshot of the current data tree.
+ * The state is captured when the transaction is created and its state and underlying
+ * data tree are not affected by other concurrently running transactions.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Write transactions are isolated from other concurrent write transactions. All
+ * writes are local to the transaction and represent only a proposal of state
+ * change for the data tree and it is not visible to any other concurrently running
+ * transaction.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Applications make changes to the local data tree in the transaction by via the
+ * <b>put</b>, <b>merge</b>, and <b>delete</b> operations.
+ *
+ * <h2>Put operation</h2>
+ * Stores a piece of data at a specified path. This acts as an add / replace
+ * operation, which is to say that whole subtree will be replaced by the
+ * specified data.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Performing the following put operations:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * 1) container { list [ a ] }
+ * 2) container { list [ b ] }
+ * </pre>
+ * will result in the following data being present:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * container { list [ b ] }
+ * </pre>
+ * <h2>Merge operation</h2>
+ * Merges a piece of data with the existing data at a specified path. Any pre-existing data
+ * which is not explicitly overwritten will be preserved. This means that if you store a container,
+ * its child lists will be merged.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Performing the following merge operations:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * 1) container { list [ a ] }
+ * 2) container { list [ b ] }
+ * </pre>
+ * will result in the following data being present:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * container { list [ a, b ] }
+ * </pre>
+ * This also means that storing the container will preserve any
+ * augmentations which have been attached to it.
+ *
+ * <h2>Delete operation</h2>
+ * Removes a piece of data from a specified path.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * After applying changes to the local data tree, applications publish the changes proposed in the
+ * transaction by calling {@link #commit} on the transaction. This seals the transaction
+ * (preventing any further writes using this transaction) and commits it to be
+ * processed and applied to global conceptual data tree.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The transaction commit may fail due to a concurrent transaction modifying and committing data in
+ * an incompatible way. See {@link #commit} for more concrete commit failure examples.

-     *             if the transaction has already been submitted
+     * Transaction may fail because of multiple reasons, such as
+     * <ul>
+     *   <li>
+     *     Another transaction finished earlier and modified the same node in a non-compatible way (see below). In this
+     *     case the returned future will fail with an {@link OptimisticLockFailedException}. It is the responsibility
+     *     of the caller to create a new transaction and commit the same modification again in order to update data
+     *     tree.
+     *     <i>
+     *       <b>Warning</b>: In most cases, retrying after an OptimisticLockFailedException will result in a high
+     *       probability of success. However, there are scenarios, albeit unusual, where any number of retries will
+     *       not succeed. Therefore it is strongly recommended to limit the number of retries (2 or 3) to avoid
+     *       an endless loop.
+     *     </i>
+     *   </li>
+     *   <li>Data change introduced by this transaction did not pass validation by commit handlers or data was
