Robert Burke commented on BEAM-3580:
------------------------------------
I'm in the process of fixing Top, and I ran into this, so I'm going to take
this unless [~htyleo] has any objections. You'll get the review however once
it's verified and tested properly
> Do not use Go BytesCoder to encode string
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-3580
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3580
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: sdk-go
> Reporter: Henning Rohde
> Assignee: Robert Burke
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 1h 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> We should not use the same built-in coder for two different types. It creates
> the need for conversions at inopportune times in the runtime.
>
> One option would be to a custom coder that shares encoding with bytes, given
> that bytes are length prefixed.
