I don't think "temporary unlock" is possible, or advisable, but another 
way is to lock the table as late as possible, so, closest before 
commit() of your transaction. That way, the time that your lock persists 
is smallest and the chance for conflict is lowest (the lower you get it, 
the more viable it will be to just rely on RetryableJobError for the 
small amount of cases where a conflict arises).

A strategy for this can be to do the thing that locks, and right after 
that, fire a new queue job that will do the rest of the stuff.

We've had success with this in cases whereby you have for example:

Process payment transaction job:

1. Start database transaction
2. Create payment transaction
3. Confirm sale.order, which may generate a stock.picking and confirm 
it, thereby locking quant table
4. Generate invoice (during this time some rows in quant table will 
still be locked, conflicts can occur)
5. Send out invoice by mail (during this time some rows in quant table 
will still be locked, conflicts can occur)
6. End of database transaction (commit)

Instead, you will add "with_delay()" around steps 4+5 so that these are 
run in a separate queue job, for which the locking does not apply.

Of course this requires refactoring of core or custom code so it might 
not be a viable solution in your case.
