2. [Configure authentication](security-overview/#authentication) in a Pulsar client.

## Select transaction isolation level

In order to enhance the flexibility of pulsar transactions, pulsar transactions support two different isolation levels, the default isolation level is Read Committed:

- READ_COMMITTED, Consumer can only consume all transactional messages which have been committed.

Show resolved Hide resolved
- READ_UNCOMMITTED, Consumer can consume all messages, even transactional messages which have been aborted.

For different scenarios, they use different subscriptions and choose different isolation levels. One needs transaction, one does not. In general, multiple subscriptions of the same topic do not all
require transaction guarantees. Some want low latency without the exact-once semantic guarantee(like Real-time monitoring system), and some must require the exactly-once guarantee(like Business Processing System).

Users can freely choose different isolation levels according to different scenarios.

Note that this is a subscription dimension configuration, and all consumers under the same subscription need to be configured with the same IsolationLevel.

This example selects READ_UNCOMMITTED Isolation level in the consumer builder:
visortelle marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved

```java
Consumer<String> consumer = client
.newConsumer(Schema.STRING)
.topic("persistent://my-tenant/my-namespace/my-topic")
.subscriptionName("my-subscription")
.subscriptionType(SubscriptionType.Shared)
.subscriptionIsolationLevel(SubscriptionIsolationLevel.READ_COMMITTED) // Adding the isolation level configuration
visortelle marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved
.subscribe();
```

## Guarantee exactly-once semantics

If you want to guarantee exactly-once semantics with transactions, you can [enable message deduplication at the broker, namespace, or topic level](cookbooks-deduplication.md#enable-message-deduplication-at-namespace-or-topic-level).
