org.apache.kafka.common.network.Mode has been renamed to org.apache.kafka.common.network.ConnectionMode

[WGriffing]

In apache/kafka#16403 (referencing https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3346) Mode from org.apache.kafka.common.network was renamed to ConnectionMode.

As a result, I'm seeing this error

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/kafka/common/network/Mode

when attempting to run version 14.1.2 of this plugin on kafka version 3.9.0. 3.9.0 may not be supported (the docs just say 3.3.0 or later) but I wanted to report this since I couldn't find any reference to it already being reported.

I am going to downgrade to a version prior to that change in kafka until this is resolved (or until that version is supported).
