Clarity: Needs clarification
Activity status: Stale
Tech stack: java, spring
Domain: backend, databases

Research direction

Start at JdbcStepExecutionDao.java:294 and the getDetailsStep configuration, then reproduce the multithreaded chunk step with the provided TaskExecutor, H2, and Java 17 setup. Compare the step-execution version conflict with the ConcurrentModificationException; done means the intermittent failure is explained and a verified resolution or expected behavior is documented.
