Tyler Hobbs commented on CASSANDRA-10004:
-----------------------------------------
Should the help documentation for the option show the default and recommend
utf8? Maybe something like this?
{noformat}
+parser.add_option("--encoding", help="Specify a non-default encoding for
output. If you are experiencing problems with unicode characters, using utf8
may fix the problem. (Default from system preferences: %s)" %
(locale.getpreferredencoding(),))
{noformat}
It seems like this fix should be applied to 2.1 as well. Can you make a branch
for that and link to the cassci tests?
