[jira] [Created] (ACCUMULO-1005) Authorizations and ColumnVisibility API should not accept Charset param

Christopher Tubbs created ACCUMULO-1005:
-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Authorizations and ColumnVisibility API should not accept Charset param
                 Key: ACCUMULO-1005
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1005
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
            Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
             Fix For: 1.5.0


The Charset parameter was added to the public API for ACCUMULO-241. However, this intermingles internal serialization/comparison implementation, and the semantics of the public API.

The Charset parameter effectively instructs Accumulo how to serialize the object. This can break the comparison with what is stored in the table and is an unnecessary breakage.

In the public API, we should only accept Strings, and allow any valid java String. Internally, the serialization of these should consistently be UTF-8.
