Eli Reisman commented on KAFKA-367:
-----------------------------------

Sorry, that makes sense. Wasn't sure if that was "to be added later when 
someone needs it" or if that should be wired up now. Will do. Kind of felt like 
the constructor should have been in the trait rather than the classes too but 
the compiler didn't agree. Might try another swipe at getting that to happen 
too.

> StringEncoder and StringDecoder take the platform default character set. This 
> is bad since the messages they produce are sent off that machine. We should
> -- add a new required argument to these that adds the character set and 
> default to UTF-8 rather than the machine setting
> -- add a commandline parameter for the console-* tools to let you specify the 
> correct encoding.
