      The transation is started on http request (spring-mvc).

      Steps to reproduce (Required on creation):

      Not easy, actually. I guess it happens on larger load.

      Observed Behavior (Required on creation):

      Exception gets thrown.

      Expected behavior (Required on creation):

      Read operations should not result in deadlocks or OptimistiLockExceptions.

      Root Cause (Required on prioritization):

      Internally Camunda writes to its DB when only asked to read from it.

      Solution Ideas (Optional):

      Remove the code writing to DB on read-only queries.

      Hints (optional):

      Other complaints include:

      https://forum.camunda.io/t/taskserviceimpl-getvariables-results-into-db-insertion-of-history-table-data/4752

      https://forum.camunda.io/t/optimisticlockingexception-during-job-execution-caused-by-createvariableinstancequery/10111

      https://forum.camunda.io/t/how-to-prevent-get-variables-from-being-stored-in-the-database-when-using-getvariable/30063

      One of them suggests adding disableCustomObjectDeserialization() when constructing the query. But I need it for JSON serialized vars
