- Method Detail
  - close
```
default void close()
```
    Creates an empty default to override AutoCloseable.close().
    AutoCloseable.close() throws an exception whereas ReadTransaction is supposed to be no-throw. In order to avoid a boiler plate catch branch that is never visited when using try(...) with ReadTransaction, this function overrides the AutoCloseable.close() function without throwing a checked exception.
