If we read the class source at this link https://github.com/wso2/carbon-analytics-common/blob/master/components/event-receiver/event-input-adapters/org.wso2.carbon.event.input.adapter.kafka/src/main/java/org/wso2/carbon/event/input/adapter/kafka/KafkaEventAdapter.java
I read that the error is in ConsumerConfig creation
