Benjamin Mahler updated MESOS-3284:
-----------------------------------
Sprint: Twitter Mesos Q3 Sprint 3
Story Points: 3
> JSON representation of Protobuf should use base64 encoding for 'bytes' fields.
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-3284
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3284
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: stout
> Reporter: Benjamin Mahler
> Assignee: Benjamin Mahler
> Labels: twitter
>
> Currently we encode 'bytes' fields as UTF-8 strings, which is lossy for
> binary data due to invalid byte sequences! In order to encode binary data in
> a lossless fashion, we can encode 'bytes' fields in base64.
> Note that this is also how proto3 does its encoding (see
> [here|https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3?hl=en#json]),
> so this would make migration easier as well.
