@javaHelper Could you tell more about the context on how you got that error? How can we run it on our end to reproduce the issue?

I am experiencing the same issue. In my case I have stitched together a maven POM with exclusions etc to get access to the REPLACE THREAD functionality in kafka streams supported in version 2.8. Using the following parent definition

<parent>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
  <version>2.4.2</version>
  <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>

with the following dependency

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-cloud-stream-binder-kafka-streams</artifactId>            
   <version>3.1.1</version>
</dependency>

you might be able to trigger this exception.
