getBytes(); calls should be replaced with getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

XMLWordPrintable

      There are several calls of method getBytes(); in clustering subsystem. These calls were identified by Coverity static code analysis as dubious [1]. getBytes() depends on platform's default charset [2]. This will cause the application behaviour to vary between platforms.

      Better solution would imho be getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
