You are right, I was mistaken about the specification and remembered it wrongly. But I am still wondering why ISO-8859-1 is used for the JSON encoding of fixed and bytes (I don't mean the binary encoding, just the JSON representation). The JSON RFC (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8259#section-8.1) says that all text that crosses the boundaries of a closed ecosystem must be encoded with UTF-8. In my particular case, the choice of the encoding for example prevents me from a straightforward integration with Snowflake (which assumes UTF-8 encoding). But I guess this is something that can hardly be changed for backwards compatibility reasons... -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
