-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Use static import for UTF-8
                 Key: ACCUMULO-3288
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3288
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
            Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 1.5.3, 1.6.2, 1.7.0


Since ACCUMULO-1545, there have been a lot of issues with merges between branches due to the UTF-8 constant change. These issues can be avoided by changing the code to statically import the UTF_8 constant from Guava's Charsets, Charset.forName("UTF-8"), or StandardCharsets, and just use that.

That way, when somebody needs to specify the constant, they can just use {{UTF_8}} and merge cleanly without conflicts due to how it is being imported.

This is a trivial task, with minimal long-term benefits, but I think it'd help save time merging other features. It will also make some long lines more readable.
