------------------------------------------------

> Nicholas - we are are using 
> http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/nio/charset/CharsetDecoder.html#decode(java.nio.ByteBuffer)
>  which does the whole 'decoding' operation, ditto for encoding.

Thanks Arun, I missed this.

BTW, TestFileAppend2 also works consistently in my Windows and Linux machines.

> Text.{ENCODER|DECODER} are static variables which need to be synchronized in 
> Text.{read|write}String; given that lots of RPC code calls 
> Text.{read|write}String the contention for this lock shows up very 
> significantly on large clusters.
