> Eliminate use of the default Charset

> Key: METRON-614
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-614
> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Justin Leet
> Assignee: Justin Leet
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Next + 1
>
> Time Spent: 8h 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> During work on METRON-612, I noticed a lot of our warnings are from implicit
> use of the default Charset (e.g. when creating InputStreamReaders). Given
> that this value is platform dependent, we should at least consider explicitly
> using a particular Charset.
> In addition, after fixing this, I would like to see it upgraded to a compile
> error, because in my experience almost everyone tends to use methods that use
> the implicit default Charset. This can be done by changing the compiler arg
> in the pom to instead be
> {code}
> <compilerArgs>
> <arg>-Xlint:unchecked</arg>
> <arg>-Xep:DefaultCharset:ERROR</arg>
> </compilerArgs>
> {code}
> My assumption is that we'll want UTF-8, but given a lack of expertise and
> that usually there's a lot of opinions on character set issues, we may want
> to consider other options.
> http://errorprone.info/bugpattern/DefaultCharset
> https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/nio/charset/Charset.html lists
> standard Charsets and provides more details.
> {code}
> Charset Description
> US-ASCII Seven-bit ASCII, a.k.a. ISO646-US, a.k.a. the Basic Latin block
> of the Unicode character set
> ISO-8859-1 ISO Latin Alphabet No. 1, a.k.a. ISO-LATIN-1
> UTF-8 Eight-bit UCS Transformation Format
> UTF-16BE Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, big-endian byte order
> UTF-16LE Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, little-endian byte order
> UTF-16 Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, byte order identified by
> an optional byte-order mark
