Description

PutElasticsearchHttpRecord line 348:

json.append(out.toString());

This results in the conversion being done using system default encoding, possibly garbling non-ASCII characters in the output. Should use the encoding configured in the processor in the toString call.

As a workaround, the "file.encoding" system property can be specified explicitly in the bootstrap.conf:

java.arg.7=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
