> Our current method for decoding UTF-8 data in OrderPreservingPartitioner and CollatingOrderPreservingPartitioner will silently decode invalid UTF-8 data. This may also be a problem UTF8Type.
> Instead, we should probably throw an exception, since bad UTF-8 data means either user error or corruption.
