Given:

• there are independent user tasks present in the engine (not associated with a process instance)

When:

• the import runs

Then:

• the import executes empty elasticsearch bulks resulting in the error:

  15:22:32.055 [ElasticsearchImportJobExecutor-pool-0] ERROR o.c.o.s.e.j.i.RunningUserTaskElasticsearchImportJob - Error while executing import to elasticsearch

Expected:

• the import should finish while skipping these task instances and backoff normally until new data is available
