    About session storage / transactions
    ------------------------------------

    Here is a description of internal session attributes. Besides :attr:`data`
    and :attr:`transaction_data`, you should not have to use attributes
    described here but higher level APIs.

      :attr:`data` is a dictionary containing shared data, used to communicate
      extra information between the client and the repository

      :attr:`_txs` is a dictionary of :class:`TransactionData` instance, one
      for each running transaction. The key is the transaction id. By default
      the transaction id is the thread name but it can be otherwise (per dbapi
      cursor for instance, or per thread name *from another process*).

      :attr:`__threaddata` is a thread local storage whose `tx` attribute
      refers to the proper instance of :class:`Transaction` according to the
      transaction.

    You should not have to use neither :attr:`_tx` nor :attr:`__threaddata`,
    simply access transaction data transparently through the :attr:`_tx`
    property. Also, you usually don't have to access it directly since current
    transaction's data may be accessed/modified through properties / methods:

      :attr:`transaction_data`, similarly to :attr:`data`, is a dictionary
      containing some shared data that should be cleared at the end of the
      transaction. Hooks and operations may put arbitrary data in there, and
      this may also be used as a communication channel between the client and
      the repository.

    .. automethod:: cubicweb.server.session.Session.get_shared_data
    .. automethod:: cubicweb.server.session.Session.set_shared_data
    .. automethod:: cubicweb.server.session.Session.added_in_transaction
    .. automethod:: cubicweb.server.session.Session.deleted_in_transaction

    Transaction state information:

      :attr:`running_dbapi_query`, boolean flag telling if the executing query
      is coming from a dbapi connection or is a query from within the repository

      :attr:`cnxset`, the connections set to use to execute queries on sources.
      During a transaction, the connection set may be freed so that is may be
      used by another session as long as no writing is done. This means we can
      have multiple sessions with a reasonably low connections set pool size.

    .. automethod:: cubicweb.server.session.set_cnxset
    .. automethod:: cubicweb.server.session.free_cnxset

      :attr:`mode`, string telling the connections set handling mode, may be one
      of 'read' (connections set may be freed), 'write' (some write was done in
      the connections set, it can't be freed before end of the transaction),
      'transaction' (we want to keep the connections set during all the
      transaction, with or without writing)

      :attr:`pending_operations`, ordered list of operations to be processed on
      commit/rollback

      :attr:`commit_state`, describing the transaction commit state, may be one
      of None (not yet committing), 'precommit' (calling precommit event on
      operations), 'postcommit' (calling postcommit event on operations),
      'uncommitable' (some :exc:`ValidationError` or :exc:`Unauthorized` error
      has been raised during the transaction and so it must be rollbacked).

    .. automethod:: cubicweb.server.session.Session.commit
    .. automethod:: cubicweb.server.session.Session.rollback
    .. automethod:: cubicweb.server.session.Session.close
    .. automethod:: cubicweb.server.session.Session.closed

    Security level Management:

      :attr:`read_security` and :attr:`write_security`, boolean flags telling if
      read/write security is currently activated.

    .. automethod:: cubicweb.server.session.Session.security_enabled

    Hooks Management:

      :attr:`hooks_mode`, may be either `HOOKS_ALLOW_ALL` or `HOOKS_DENY_ALL`.

      :attr:`enabled_hook_categories`, when :attr:`hooks_mode` is
      `HOOKS_DENY_ALL`, this set contains hooks categories that are enabled.

      :attr:`disabled_hook_categories`, when :attr:`hooks_mode` is
      `HOOKS_ALLOW_ALL`, this set contains hooks categories that are disabled.

    .. automethod:: cubicweb.server.session.Session.deny_all_hooks_but
    .. automethod:: cubicweb.server.session.Session.allow_all_hooks_but
    .. automethod:: cubicweb.server.session.Session.is_hook_category_activated
