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

Priority: 3

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.
