------------------------------------------------------------
Nitin: That is the guarantee Flume provides as a framework. I believe the
request is the following:
1. Provide a way to specify the charset that is provided on the terminal to
Flume, so that the Exec Source 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 the Exec Source encodes the String into binary form using
EventBuilder.
Without the capability to specify these encodings, a user doesn't have enough
control over how the Exec Source interprets his text input data.
(Edit: clarifications)
