+A lightweight transaction query is not a separate type - it can be expressed just like any other queries: via `SimpleQuery`, `PreparedStatement`, batches, and so on. The difference lays in the query string itself - when it contains a condition (e.g. `IF NOT EXISTS`), it becomes a lightweight transaction. It's important to remember that CQL specification requires a separate, additional consistency level to be defined for LWT queries - `serial_consistency_level`. The serial consistency level can only be set to two values: `SerialConsistency::Serial` or `SerialConsistency::LocalSerial`. The "local" variant makes the transaction consistent only within the same datacenter. For convenience, Scylla Rust Driver sets the default consistency level to `LocalSerial`, as it's more commonly used. For cross-datacenter consistency, please remember to always override the default with `SerialConsistency::Serial`.
