That was exactly the problem, I found the example here to be very helpful - 
https://github.com/confluentinc/examples/blob/master/kafka-clients/specific-avro-consumer/src/main/java/io/confluent/examples/consumer/AvroClicksSessionizer.java
 
<https://github.com/confluentinc/examples/blob/master/kafka-clients/specific-avro-consumer/src/main/java/io/confluent/examples/consumer/AvroClicksSessionizer.java>

IMHO it’s confusing having the same class names in different packages when most 
people probably rely on an IDE to manage their imports.

Thanks!

Rick
