---------------------------------------
Summary: Make C* work in all locales
Key: CASSANDRA-9626
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9626
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Robert Stupp
Priority: Minor
Default locale and default charset has immediate effect on how strings are
encoded and handles - e.g. via {{String.toLowerCase()}} or {{new
String(byte[])}}.
Problems with different default locales + charsets don't become obvious for US
and most European regional settings. But some regional OS settings will cause
severe errors. Example: {{"BILLY".toLowerCase()}} returns {{bılly}} with Locale
tr_TR (take a look at the second letter - it's an i without the dot).

It's not a problem I'm currently facing, but it could become a problem for some
users. A quick fix could be to set default locale and charset in the start
scripts - maybe that's all we need.
