title: Why am I unable to connect to kafka using pyspark? Kafka_2.12-2.3.0 and Spark_2.4.4 or 2.3.0 or 2.3.4
body: <p>I can not connect to kafka_2.12-2.3.0 from spark_2.4.4 structured streaming using the below code in python. My scala version is 2.11.12 and OpenJDK is 1.8.0_222</p>
  
  <pre><code>from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
  spark = SparkSession\
   .builder\
   .appName("kafka-spark-structured-stream")\
   .getOrCreate()
  
  dsraw = spark\
   .readStream\
   .format("kafka")\
   .option("kafka.bootstrap.servers", "**kafka-broker-ID**:9092")\
   .option("subscribe", "test")\
   .option("startingOffsets", "earliest")\
   .load()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The following are the spark-submits i tried multiple times by varying versions like changing from 2.11 to 2.12 but still failed:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$spark-submit --jars /opt/hadoop/spark/jars/spark-sql-kafka-0-10_2.11-2.4.4.jar,/opt/hadoop/spark/jars/kafka-clients-0.10.1.0.jar --master yarn --deploy-mode client /opt/hadoop/spark/spark-application/main/kafka-spark-structured-stream.py
  
  $spark-submit --packages org.apache.spark:spark-sql-kafka-0-10_2.11:2.4.4 --master yarn --deploy-mode client /opt/hadoop/spark/spark-application/main/kafka-spark-structured-stream.py
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I keep getting the error below no matter how i try differently with spark-submit:</p>
