выполнение весеннего пакета неожиданно завершилось

Question

У меня весеннее пакетное задание - где я читаю данные из БД и записываю их в файл. Пока поток находится в решающем состоянии - он неожиданно завершается с показателем ниже stackTrace

Я получаю только приведенную ниже трассировку стека - ничего кроме этого

Пружинный поток разработан следующим образом

Validate input param --> Read file --> map --> Decider --> with respective key call next step  --> 

Что могло пойти не так ..?

Любая помощь приветствуется ..
