In order order to split the nodes.
SimpleGeo have max 1,000 recods (i.e places) on each node in the tree, if
the number is >1,000 they split the node.
In order to avoid that more then 1 process will edit/split the node -
transaction is needed.

e.g. slice a row to get the first column >= the left value you are
interested in, that is the key for the set.
