Hash impls use String.getBytes(), may get non UTF8 bytes
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ISPN-880
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-880
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Distributed Cache
    Affects Versions: 4.2.1.Final
            Reporter: Patrick McFarland
            Assignee: Manik Surtani


According to Sun's Java docs, String.getBytes() will return bytes in the platform's native encoding, which may not be UTF-8. Cross platform (or same platforms configured differently) may end up with problems in the same cluster.

The fix seems to be replace all String.getBytes() uses with String.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-8")) to always force UTF-8 conversion.

This bug may also apply to other unrelated places in Infinispan, I haven't checked.
