Jay Kreps created KAFKA-367: ------------------------------- Summary: StringEncoder/StringDecoder use platform default character set Key: KAFKA-367 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-367 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.8 Reporter: Jay Kreps
StringEncoder and StringDecoder take the platform default character set. This is bad since the messages they produce are sent off that machine. We should -- add a new required argument to these that adds the character set and default to UTF-8 rather than the machine setting -- add a commandline parameter for the console-* tools to let you specify the correct encoding. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
