Description

The character set is currently not configurable in the exec source - http://flume.apache.org/FlumeUserGuide.html#exec-source

File - https://github.com/apache/flume/blob/trunk/flume-ng-core/src/main/java/org/apache/flume/source/ExecSource.java

Can somebody please expose the ability to specify character set in the exec source?
