Buffer class' toString method should accept a code name for "true" utf-8 codeName
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key: HADOOP-2663
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2663
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: record
Reporter: Runping Qi
Assignee: Milind Bhandarkar



Currently, if one call toString("UTF-8"), a String object is created using Java's converion code.
That does not work properly for some rare but still true utf-8 bytes. Hadoop has its own utf-8 conversion
code for string serialization/deserialization. The same code should be used here.
