Recently I was involved in a customer inquiry about transaction isolation. The customer had observed an unexpected interaction between two concurrent transactions and wanted an explanation of what they were seeing. This customer is fairly sophisticated, with many folks familiar with isolation principles and even a PhD in distributed computing, which made me think that a lot of people probably aren’t very familiar with the nuances of transaction isolation, especially as it relates to MarkLogic.

Are there any recommendation regarding the stemming option to use between basic, advanced and decompounding? Would it be a good approach to always use the "advanced" option when enabling stemming for French?

Semantics offers a new way of representing data, as subject-predicate-object triples

Wildcards are special characters that enable you to efficiently search on similarly spelled words. MarkLogic supports wildcard search with special indexes, including lexicons.

What is the performance impact of using a large number of collections? How does the collection lexicon work?
