The `saveAll` method of a reactive repository received an empty collection or empty publisher hangs forever

[greenyleaf]

The saveAll method from an Elasticsearch reactive repository that received an empty collection or empty publisher hangs forever. That method never returns.

The same code for a reactive repository of MongoDB completed successfully.

Example code:

@Test
void saveAllEmptyTest() {
   priceItemRepository.saveAll(Collections.emptyList())
      .count()
      .doOnNext(aLong -> log.info("count: {}", aLong))
      .block();
}

and

@Test
void saveAllEmptyTest() {
   priceItemRepository.saveAll(Flux.empty())
      .count()
      .doOnNext(aLong -> log.info("count: {}", aLong))
      .block();
}
