jtao15 opened a new issue, #16607:
URL: https://github.com/apache/pinot/issues/16607

   Decoding a byte array to String without specifying a charset is unsafe 
[here](https://github.com/apache/pinot/blob/058f7aae2f9cb09caaf9c6f882b1a2f73c3f3fae/pinot-segment-local/src/main/java/org/apache/pinot/segment/local/io/util/ValueReader.java#L66)
 because it depends on the JVM’s default charset. If the default is US-ASCII, 
valid UTF-8 sequences for non-ASCII characters are decoded as the Unicode 
replacement character **U+FFFD** (UTF-8 bytes **EF BF BD**). This corrupts data 
if the segment is rebuilt in minion tasks (e.g. PurgeTask), and also inflates 
the segment size if the same segment is processed multiple times.
