[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-367) StringEncoder/StringDecoder use platform default character set

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-367?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13449006#comment-13449006 ] 

Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-367:
---------------------------------

This looks good, but I don't see where we make use of the new constructor. I think we need to pass in the properties in the producer and consumer, right?

> 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.
