Robert Stupp updated CASSANDRA-9626:
------------------------------------
Attachment: 9626.txt
Attached patch sets the file-encoding to UTF-8 and locale to en_US.
I don't think that we ever need to take the machine's real locale or file
encoding into account since C* daemon is not user facing. This may change if
tools get localizations.
> Make C* work in all locales

>
> 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).
> (ref:
> http://blog.thetaphi.de/2012/07/default-locales-default-charsets-and.html)
> 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.
