Spring for Apache Kafka 2.0.x is not compatible with Spring Boot 2.1.x. You have to use Spring-Kafka 2.2.x. More over would be better to just rely on the dependency from Spring Boot per se. please, see https://start.spring.io/ for more info how properly start the project for Spring Boot.

And please, don’t duplicate your question in different places if that was not asked.

Huh? How is that possible? Actually, in reality , Spring Boot dictates all the versions of dependencies. And all the Spring Boot projects start from the mentioned generation tool. I would suggest to forget Spring Kafka version, of you use Spring Boot. Otherwise your use-case is not clear – Artem Bilan Dec 17 '18 at 02:54
Because you have upgraded Spring Boot, but not Spring Kafka. You need to learn how Spring Boot manages dependencies, so you need only upgrade its version and don’t worry about other versions – Artem Bilan Dec 17 '18 at 13:02
WORKS! - I moved to 2.2.4.RELEASE org.springframework.kafka spring-kafka 2.2.4.RELEASE And it is working! Thanks. – ylev May 21 '19 at 15:06
Thanks a lot it worked for me @Artem, after degrading my spring version it worked as expected. – Jaini Naveen Apr 30 '20 at 21:10
I have updated from 2.1.3 to 2.2.4, its working. Thanks a lot. – Mohan Jul 05 '21 at 16:20
