When KieServicesClient fails to connect to KieServer, LoadBalancer is invoked to check availability of server like the following.

[2019/01/24 18:19:38.411] [pool-1-thread-1] [DEBUG] (LoadBalancer.java:149) - Starting to scan if any of the failed endpoints is back online

But after that, the thread used by LoadBalancer remains until termination of client application as LoadBalancer.close() is not called.
