Ufuk Celebi commented on FLINK-5824: ------------------------------------ [~dawidwys] I've just assigned it to you. [~StephanEwen] [~stefanrichte...@gmail.com] Stephan mentioned that this also affects savepoints. Do we want to do something special there or simply fix it (possibly breaking savepoints)? > Fix String/byte conversions without explicit encoding > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-5824 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5824 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Python API, Queryable State, State Backends, > Checkpointing, Webfrontend > Reporter: Ufuk Celebi > Assignee: Dawid Wysakowicz > Priority: Blocker > > In a couple of places we convert Strings to bytes and bytes back to Strings > without explicitly specifying an encoding. This can lead to problems when > client and server default encodings differ. > The task of this JIRA is to go over the whole project and look for > conversions where we don't specify an encoding and fix it to specify UTF-8 > explicitly. > For starters, we can {{grep -R 'getBytes()' .}}, which already reveals many > problematic places. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
