Description
### Apache Hop version?
2.9.0
### Java version?
11.0.15
### Operating system
Windows
### What happened?
When importing from Pentaho/kettle a Kafka Consumer step, the Hop transform gets a KafkaConsumerInput.
This is not recognized by the gui and gives an error when clicking on the transform:
```
HopException:
Missing transform plugin for 'kafkaCnsmr:zsp1'
```
I think the type should be KafkaConsumer.
### Issue Priority

Contributor guide
Research direction
Begin with the Pentaho/Kettle import path for a Kafka Consumer step and inspect how it assigns the transform type. Done means the imported step uses the GUI-recognized KafkaConsumer type and opens without the missing-plugin error.
