The following script reads from mysql through jdbc plugin, and output every item through stdout. However, by running logstash -f mysql2es.conf， it does not print anything. Then I added --debug, I can see entities jdbc reads in.

```auto
input {
  jdbc {
    jdbc_driver_library => "mysql-connector-java-5.1.36-bin.jar"
    jdbc_driver_class => "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
    jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/aiplatform_face"
    jdbc_user => "root"
    jdbc_password => "mypass"
    statement => "SELECT id, create_time, vec FROM vec_table WHERE id > :sql_last_value LIMIT :size OFFSET :offset"
    jdbc_paging_enabled => true
    jdbc_paging_mode => "explicit"
    jdbc_page_size => 100000
    use_column_value => true
    tracking_column_type => "numeric"
    tracking_column => "id"
    last_run_metadata_path => "/root/tools/logstash/confs/test-jdbc-int-sql_last_value.yml"
  }
}

output {
  stdout {}
}

```

From below output, you may see that `stdout` is not printed.

Now I get to know Logstash better as far as jdbc plugin. I think what I observed earlier as stated in that post, was because mysql table records have been scanned, and no more data after `last` indictor. Thereafter, Logstash did not reads any record into this tool, so it did not print any.
