Hi,  
I am trying to contribute to elasticsearch for the first time.  
After following instructions from [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#contributing-to-the-elasticsearch-codebase),

Here's what's done:

1. JAVA\_HOME is set to JDK 14
2. The project is imported in Intellij 2020.1
3. Docker is not set up yet
4. Ran the command ./gradlew :run

However, the output logs stalls at line:  
[INFO][o.e.x.i.a.TransportPutLifecycleAction] [runTask-0] adding index lifecycle policy [ml-size-based-ilm-policy]

Here is the log file:

> **[Elasticsearch run logs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-GSai74eiXt2yQIF1wB1x0bmG-ejEls-eJOP2LEyKfw/edit?usp=sharing)**

Can someone please point out if I am missing something?

Turns out when its stalled here:  
[INFO][o.e.x.i.a.TransportPutLifecycleAction] [runTask-0] adding index lifecycle policy [ml-size-based-ilm-policy]

The elasticsearch server is actually running.  
At this point, you should run `curl -u elastic:password localhost:9200`

It should be fixed soon in contrubuting.md:
