ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.cassandra.thrift.Cassandra$Iface

When attempting to upgrade to 3.11.11, the following exception is thrown (same code in 3.11.10 works fine):

I had this same issue and was able to resolve it by adding org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-thrift:3.11.14 as a test dependency
