Can anybody have a look at this please? It's a pretty basic bug

LGTM, however, I wouldn't recommend updating the kafka library version as part of this PR. We can do that as part of release when we do it.

[javierholguera]

@kushagraThapar I'm not sure what update you refer to. I'm not updating the Kafka library version (that's part of Kafka Connect anyway). What I'm upgrading is the version for this library, which I think it's fair since I'm fixing a bug.

[kushagraThapar]

@javierholguera - I am referring to the version of this library (kafka connect cosmos db).
The reason we don't want to update the version as part of a bug fix is we are not sure whether we will release a hotfix or minor version. That is decided based on a monthly cycle and the changes we do in that particular month.
Since next kafka connect cosmos db release is due soon, I will update the version once we are closer to the release. Hope it makes sense, thanks!

@javierholguera thanks again for your contribution, we really appreciate it.
I will merge this PR and this should get released this week as part of our monthly release.
