[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-7128) Reduced annoying catch clauses of UnsupportedEncodingException that is never thrown because of UTF-8

["Ted Yu (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7128?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13493312#comment-13493312 ] 

Ted Yu commented on HBASE-7128:
-------------------------------

In HConstants:
{code}
+  /** When we encode strings, we always specify UTF8 encoding */
+  public static final Charset UTF8_CHARSET = Bytes.UTF8_CHARSET;
{code}
HConstants and Bytes classes are both in hbase-common
Can UTF8_CHARSET be removed from HConstants ?

Patch looks good.

> There are some codes that catch UnsupportedEncodingException, and log or ignore it because Java always supports UTF-8 (see the javadoc of Charset).
> The catch clauses are annoying, and they should be replaced by methods of Bytes.
