The retry mechanism can be defeated by views that commit transactions halfway through

[Raphaël Badin]

Th retry mechanism (retrying requests when they fail with serialization errors) doesn't deal well with views that commit transactions halfway through.

Let's say we have a view that does this:
Part A
Manual commit
Part B

If Part A fails with a serialization error, the entire request can be retried without problem. If the error happens in Part B, then the retry mechanism will also retry Part A which can be a problem.

We need to figure out a fix for this but one idea that comes to mind is this: store the information about Part A being done already and skip that part when retrying the view.
