21.0.0 changed the underlying code generator and is incompatible with older versions, I suspect that you somehow have older versions of some parts of the client in your classpath somewhere.

You can use 21.0.0-legacy to maintain the old code generator, but you probably need to clean up your dependencies rather than stick to the legacy releases which will eventually be deprecated.
