You'd have to set it as a header, just like with the other REST APIs - see [reference documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/tasks.html#_identifying_running_tasks) - and you'd get back the value as a header. Though I assume you did that -- did it not work?

I think that's currently not possible, JDBC doesn't take a configuration property for that, unfortunately. Feel free to open an issue / feature request on [Github](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues), though.

As a hacky alternative, I guess you could SELECT a unique literal token in the SQL query itself, if that's at all feasible, to help correlate requests and responses.
