Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1072: ------------------------------------ Avro's JsonEncoder.java specifies the UTF-8 encoding, so I don't see how this is happening. Can you please provide a test that fails in your environment? Thanks! > The JSON encoder doesn't handle non-ASCII character properly > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: AVRO-1072 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1072 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: Bug > Components: java > Affects Versions: 1.6.3 > Environment: uname -a > Darwin zmac 10.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun 7 16:33:36 PDT > 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 > java -version > java version "1.6.0_29" > Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11-402-10M3527) > Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode) > Reporter: Zhihong Zhang > > The JSON encoder uses default encoding of the platform. It should always use > UTF-8. > This causes multiple problems for us, > 1. The text is mangled if sending/receiving machine has different encoding. > 2. Some encodings (like Latin-1 or MacRoman) can't handle all characters > (like Chinese) and we get ? in the text. > 3. The binary encoder (ByteBuffer) doesn't work due to this problem. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
