Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-367:
---------------------------------

Eli, I was also working on the same area for KAFKA-544 so I attempted to 
integrate this patch into that one. I have committed that to the 0.8 branch. If 
you get a chance take a look at the current 0.8 branch HEAD and let me know if 
I got it right.

> 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.
