Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-5824:
-------------------------------------
I don't think we need it to be configurable at the moment. Since these are
internal strings, we should rather be safe that we always use the same encoding.
> 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.
