Github user fhueske commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/264#issuecomment-71285644 That's a good point. I copied the code from the DelimitedInputFormat which allows to specify the charset for the record delimiter. So if we go with 1. we should also fix the DelimitedIF to UTF-8. 2. we need to extend the StringValue which does not support charsets. 1) would be the easy fix. Charset support could be added later. Any objections with going for 1)?
