Class DefaultCharset

java.lang.Object

com.basho.riak.client.core.util.DefaultCharset

public final class DefaultCharset
extends Object

Holds an classloader-wide default charset, that is then used to encode/decode between Strings and Byte arrays for Riak's use (see BinaryValue).

Before 2.0.3, the system used the JRE's default Charset from the Charset.defaultCharset() property.

With this class you may change the Riak client to use a different default. You can set it at startup by providing the desired Charset name with the vm argument -Dcom.basho.riak.client.DefaultCharset="UTF-8", or at runtime with the static method (see set(Charset)).

As of 2.0.3 it still defaults to the value provided by Charset.defaultCharset(), but the default is planned to change to "UTF-8" with 2.1.0.

If your JRE default charset is one of "US-ASCII", "UTF-8", or "ISO-8859-1", this change should not affect you.

If your JRE default charset is one of "UTF-16", "UTF-16BE", or "UTF-16LE", you will need to set that default on the command line or after application startup once you upgrade.

Since:

2.0.3
