The current implementation of aspect versioning relies on the transactions to be with the isolation level of repeatable read in order to avoid lost updates (as discussed in https://datahubproject.io/docs/advanced/aspect-versioning/#transaction-isolation-1 and illustrated in #3231).
Although the default isolation level is repeatable read for MySQL, ebean sets the default transaction isolation to be read committed (https://github.com/ebean-orm/ebean-datasource/blob/master/ebean-datasource-api/src/main/java/io/ebean/datasource/DataSourceConfig.java#L38); this PR ensures that the transactions use the repeatable read isolation level.
Another option would be to set it as the default/make it configurable (e.g. in https://github.com/linkedin/datahub/blob/master/metadata-service/factories/src/main/java/com/linkedin/gms/factory/common/LocalEbeanServerConfigFactory.java) - regardless, @dexter-mh-lee should run some performance regression testing before merging in.
