I am referring to the work that we have done in MESOS-4997, i.e., always use 
optional enum field and include an UNKNOWN value as the first entry in the enum 
list, that way any inexistent enum value will be parsed to the default enum 
value (i.e., UNKNOWN). However, I did not figure out an easy way to verify it, 
I just infer this behavior based on the description in MESOS-4997.
