my source code:

```java
public Function<Map<String, Object>, SearchScript> compile(
    		String scriptName, String scriptSource, Map<String, String> params) {
    	checkScriptSource(scriptSource);
    	logger.info("start compline script name: {}, source: {}", scriptName, scriptSource);
    	return p -> new SearchScriptBuilder()
    			.params(p)
    			.restHighLevelClient(restHighLevelClient)
    			.queryVectoryResearcherFactory(queryVectoryResearcherFactory)
    			.build();
    }

```

```auto
public class SearchScriptBuilder implements BaseBuilder<SearchScript> {
@Override
	public SearchScript build() {
		logger.info("build search script, thread name: {}", Thread.currentThread().getName());
		validateParams();
		return newProduct();
	}
}

```

my logs:

```auto

May be because you have more than one shard?
