Mike Percy commented on FLUME-1676:
-----------------------------------
Nitin: That is the guarantee Flume provides. I believe the request is the
following:
1. Provide a way to specify the charset that is provided on the terminal to
Flume, so it knows how to decode it into a String.
2. Provide a way to specify the charset we will store in the Flume Event object
itself, when we encode the String into binary.
Without specifying these things, the user has no control over how Flume
interprets his data.
> ExecSource should provide a configurable charset
