Feedback: Transactions - erroneous statement - retry logic is still needed for READ COMMITTED

[hand-crdb]

Page: https://cockroachlabs.com/docs/v24.3/transactions.html

What is the reason for your feedback?

[ ] Missing the information I need

[ ] Too complicated

[ ] Out of date

[ ] Something is broken

[x] Other

Additional details

The following statement in the doc is incorrect:

Client-side retry handling is not necessary for READ COMMITTED transactions.

While clients using READ COMMITTED will not receive SERIALIZABLE transaction exceptions, they can be expected to receive other kinds of exceptions during the normal operation of CockroachDB, and therefore still need to implement client-side retry handling.
