Support non-UTF-8 in Java and C#
--------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-414
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-414
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Compiler (C#), Compiler (Java), Library (C#), Library
(Java)
Reporter: David Reiss
Java and C# Thrift assume that all strings should be UTF-8. A better approach
would be:
- Give the readString and writeString protocol methods an encoding parameter,
probably defaulting to UTF-8 for compatibility and convenience.
- Make generated struct readers and writers pass the argument to the protocol
objects for each string.
- Allow a type annotation to override the default UTF-8 encoding.
- All other languages (except Python 3) should ignore the annotation, but it
will serve as documentation for the application.
