**Steps to reproduce** :

1. Clone [https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-task/tree/master/spring-cloud-task-samples/timestamp](https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-task/tree/master/spring-cloud-task-samples/timestamp)
2. Run the application - The service dies after it prints the timestamp
3. Add:

```auto
                <dependency>
			<groupId>org.elasticsearch.client</groupId>
			<artifactId>elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client</artifactId>
			<version>7.0.0</version>
		</dependency>

```

1. Re-run the application - The service now stays alive

**Notes**  
With:  
Spring Cloud Task - Finchley.SR3  
Spring Boot - 2.0.x  
Rest High Level Client - 6.4.2  
The app functions as intended.  
With:  
Spring Cloud Task - Greenwich.SR1  
Spring Boot -2.1.x  
Rest High Level Client - 6.4.2  
The app exhibits the problematic behavior

Adding a configuration and beaning the RestHighLevelClient and closing the connection on task completion has no affect on this functionality.

How do you run the application? Is it with `mvn run`?

When using springboot with  
elasticsearch, you need to be explicit with some transitive dependencies as SpringBoot declares a version 6.4...

Basically you can put this in your `pom.xml`:

```auto
<properties>
  <elasticsearch.version>7.0.0<elasticsearch.version>
</properties>

```

See documentation here: [https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto-build.html#howto-customize-dependency-versions](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto-build.html#howto-customize-dependency-versions)

May be that could help.
