Description
Spring Batch 6 introduces support for "resource less" infrastructure. With this mode, a database is not required and this could be helpful for those who do not need it and are currently forced to add an in-memory database for that purpose.
Spring Batch 6 is similar to Spring Session in that regards with a EnableJdbcJobRepository that can be used by the user to opt-in for database storage.
The biggest problem that I can see now is that Spring Boot extends from the base configuration to customize features and for Spring Session we "just" import the configuration class. With JdbcDefaultBatchConfiguration extending from DefaultBatchConfiguration, it makes such extension complicated as we'd have to replicate the overrides in two classes.
