------------------------------------------------------------------
Never aborting a transaction seems dangerous.
If it does get stuck forever, what is the user supposed to do with it?
And if the user aborts it manually, it's the same as timeout, just aggravating
to the user. You still have to handle when user aborts it.
If it's ok to get stuck for a long time but not forever, why not just increase
the heartbeat timeout for it?

> The transactions opened by applying EVENT_OPEN_TXN should never be aborted
> automatically due to time-out. Aborting of transaction started by replication
> task may leads to inconsistent state at target which needs additional
> overhead to clean-up. So, it is proposed to mark the transactions opened by
> replication task as special ones and shouldn't be aborted if heart beat is
> lost. This helps to ensure all ABORT and COMMIT events will always find the
> corresponding txn at target to operate.
