/**
 * Retryer for InnoDB false "lock wait timeout exceeded" that appears on heavy load.
 * See https://www.percona.com/blog/2012/03/27/innodbs-gap-locks/ for some more explanation and eventual different workaround.
 * Here is a short description in case the article disappears : initial reason is the way Innodb locks rows while writing : gap lock.
 * 2 workarounds are given by above site:
 * - use {@link java.sql.Connection#TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED} because no lock is applied since changes may occur in this mode
 * - apply innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog = 1 on server to disable gap lock. Use with extrem caution since it affects all SQL orders
