Which use case/requirement will be addressed by the proposed feature?

Enums are currently sent as ints and mapped to values for streaming change events. For snapshot events they are strings.

Soon Vitess will only use Strings, so we need to support this for the streaming & snapshot case, which both assume ints

See zulip chat for more info

Implementation ideas (optional)

Implement this in backward/forward compatible way: if the enum is an int convert it, if the enum is a string then return the value as is.
