Producer Initialisation Fails, when we enable SASL and its not supported by the module

[rahulkallur]

config := sarama.NewConfig()
config.Producer.Return.Successes = true
config.Net.SASL.Enable = true
config.Net.SASL.User = os.Getenv("KAFKA_USERNAME")
config.Net.SASL.Password = os.Getenv("KAFKA_PASSWORD")
config.Net.SASL.Mechanism = sarama.SASLTypeSCRAMSHA512 // Specify the mechanism

// // Provide the SCRAM client generator function
config.Net.SASL.SCRAMClientGeneratorFunc = func() sarama.SCRAMClient {
	// Create and return a custom SCRAM client
	// You can pass in your own credentials or change the default behavior here
	return sasl.NewSCRAMClient(
		"username", // replace with your username
		"password", // replace with your password
	)
}

The above is the sample code which i used for initializing the producer, but i am gettting something like this
kafka: invalid configuration (A SCRAMClientGeneratorFunc function must be provided to Net.SASL.SCRAMClientGeneratorFunc)
