Hi,

We are seeing the following deprecation log messages in our 6.8 cluster:

The return type of [getDayOfWeek()] will change to an enum in 7.0. Use getDayOfWeekEnum().getValue().

However, having upgraded our test cluster to 7.4, we're still seeing getDayOfWeek() returning an integer. What's going on here? I imagine the advice is to switch to the new method regardless?

Thanks.

Hey,

indeed. The code is still in there, but you should switch to using the enum nontheless, as the other code will be removed in the future.
