Spring Boot 2.3 with JPA: CommandLineRunner finish delayed

I have a CommandLineRunner on Spring Boot 2.3.3 using JPA which has a 1 minute delay after finishing (see log below). This happens even when there are no entity classes present and there is no JPA operation. It's reproducible with a project consisting of only a mainly empty main class.

This did not occur with version 2.2.7, but does on 2.3.1. It happens not only on h2 but also on other databases (derby, oracle). If I use only spring-boot-starter-data-jdbc instead of spring-boot-starter-data-jpa there is no delay.

Is there any way to avoid this delay?

Spring Boot 2.3 version ships with a new major release of Spring Data.

As they indicate in the documentation, they changed the default BootstrapMode for JPA repositories:

> As of #16230, the default BootstrapMode for JPA repositories is now "deferred" so as to improve startup time. You can revert that new default with the spring.data.jpa.repositories.bootstrap-mode=default configuration property.

To avoid the delay, you only need to create an application.properties file, and define the property spring.data.jpa.repositories.bootstrap-modeas indicated:

spring.data.jpa.repositories.bootstrap-mode=default

Please try to add @EnableJpaRepositories to your class.

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableJpaRepositories
public class SlowShutdown implements CommandLineRunner {
}
