BinlogReader logging EventDataDeserializationException on app startup

[fatboyslimfast]

We have a Java 11 Spring boot app integrated with Kafka/Debezium.

Verions

debeziumSpringbootStarterVersion=1.0.4.RELEASE
kafkaVersion=2.8.0
debeziumConnectorMysql=1.0.0.Final
mysqlBinlogConnector=0.21.0

On a Mysql (5.7) database database change is made (user dropped/ tables recreated with data) Debezium's binlogreader starts to read the bin logs, but then logs the following Exception

WARNING: The range of printed events ends with a row event or a table map event that does not have the STMT_END_F flag set. This might be because the last statement was not fully written to the log, or because you are using a --stop-position or --stop-datetime that refers to an event in the middle of a statement. The event(s) from the partial statement have not been written to output.

Debugging the inputStream where the error is thrown from

  private EventData deserializeEventData(ByteArrayInputStream inputStream, EventHeader eventHeader,
            EventDataDeserializer eventDataDeserializer) throws EventDataDeserializationException {

...
    inputStream.skipToTheEndOfTheBlock();

with

new String(inputStream.readAllBytes(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

Does indeed throw

 Method threw 'java.io.EOFException' exception.

I have no idea why this is happening or how to code around it. The error is not thrown up to the app and handled internally.

Has anyone else had a similar issue?
