--------------------------------

             Summary: Eliminate use of platform dependent String.getBytes()  
and new String(bytes) calls in redis
                 Key: GEODE-9287
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-9287
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: redis
            Reporter: Dan Smith


We have a number of places that call either String.getBytes() or new 
String(bytes) in the redis module.

These methods may produce different output depending on the underlying 
platforms default encoding. 

We should switch these places to call use our standard Coder.stringToBytes and 
bytesToString methods. Those methods should use UTF-8 encoding, eg 
String.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF-8).

We should eliminate conversions between bytes and strings as much as possible 
on critical path code. In particular, our parser should have constants for the 
byte[] values of all of the static strings in the commands.

We may want to consider encoding error responses as ASCII, rather than UTF-8, 
for more compatibility with different clients if an error message accidentally 
contains a non-ascii character.
