> Pipe action convert objects into strings using a way that was affected by the default encoding setting of Python environment.
> Here is the related code fragment (L717-721@python/pyspark/rdd.py):
> {code}
> def pipe_objs(out):
> for obj in iterator:
> s = str(obj).rstrip('\n') + '\n'
> out.write(s.encode('utf-8'))
> out.close()
> {code}
> The `str(obj)` part implicitly convert `obj` to an unicode string, then encode it into a byte string using default encoding; On the other hand, the `s.encode('utf-8')` part implicitly decode `s` into an unicode string using default encoding and then encode it (AGAIN!) into a UTF-8 encoded byte string.
> Typically the default encoding of Python environment would be 'ascii', which means passing an unicode string containing characters beyond 'ascii' charset will raise UnicodeEncodeError exception at `str(obj)` and passing a byte string containing bytes greater than 128 will again raise UnicodeEncodeError exception at 's.encode('utf-8')`.
> Changing `str(obj)` to `unicode(obj)` would eliminate these problems.
> The following code snippet reproduces these errors:
