Does Spring Data MongoDB already supports the transactions in MongoDB

Spring Data Lovelace M3 (2.1.0.M3) supports synchronous transaction for MongoDB v4.0, released on May 17th 2018. See also Spring Data Lovelace M3 release notes.

Example from Spring Data docs: MongoDB transactions

ClientSession session = client.startSession(options);                   

template.withSession(session)
    .execute(action -> {
        session.startTransaction();                                     
        try {

            Step step = // ...;
            action.insert(step);
            process(step);
            action.update(Step.class).apply(Update.set("state", // ...
            session.commitTransaction();                                
        } catch (RuntimeException e) {
            session.abortTransaction();                                 
        }
    }, ClientSession::close)                                            
    .subscribe();
