I am trying to update the library to the latest version but I am getting the following error.

I have cleared all jars I had before and all latest versions are downloaded. When I leave the older versions of Java dependencies in place (in the jars directory) it works. However, I do not want to mix multiple versions of the same dependency as that does not feel right.

Updating amazon-kinesis-client to the latest version and all related Java dependencies accordingly may help IMO.
