[hbase] Replace all String.getBytes() with String.getBytes("UTF-8")
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-1821
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1821
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Bug
Components: contrib/hbase
Affects Versions: 0.15.0
Reporter: Jim Kellerman
Assignee: Jim Kellerman
Fix For: 0.15.0
We cannot rely on the default encoding being UTF-8 so a naked String.getBytes()
will return the bytes in whatever the default encoding is for the platform on
which code is running. If it is subsequently read on another machine with a
different default encoding, converting the bytes back to a string will result
in garbage.
Consequently, we should always specify an encoding for getBytes() and new
String. UTF-8 is the preferred encoding.
The places where we use unqualified getBytes are:
HConstants.DELETE_BYTES, HConstants.COMPLETE_CACHEFLUSH
hbase.io.MapWritable.main (but this will not be an issue once HADOOP-1760 is
completed)
TestHMemcache.addRows
PerformanceEvaluation.generateValue
TestGet
TestHRegion
TestHBaseCluster
TestTableMapReduce
TestScanner2
TestRegExpRowFilter
TestRowFilterSet
