What protobuf version do you have installed?

[Deshmukh1992]

protobuf 4.25.7

[franciscojavierarceo]

Can you try to upgrade your protobuf version?

[Deshmukh1992]

@ntkathole I need to use a stable version, as the code being used in production, for now I have downgraded to feast 0.48.1 this worked for me for now. @franciscojavierarceo I tried upgrading protobuf version but it is giving me dependency conflict.

Thanks
