Github user jeroenvlek commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/213#issuecomment-114746082 I'd be happy to make a new pull request with the adapted writeString and readString, but do you want to have the assumption that the incoming string is either encoded with UTF-8 or a bytestring hard-coded? Maybe you could keep writeString for byte strings and create a writeUtf8?
