the doc here https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.17/docs/connectors/table/formats/protobuf/ says:

Then compile and package the classes (there is no need to package proto-java into the jar)

but if not bundling it, I am seeing:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.google.protobuf.MessageOrBuilder

and if trying to bundle (same version as

com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java:3.21.7

)

Caused by: java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target 41

any advice from dealing with this type of conflict? using this format with kafka connector
