Hi folks
The comments on Unicode vs UTF-8 on http://www.aerospike.com/docs/client/java/usage/data_type.html are incorrect. Java and .NET use UTF-16 strings.
http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html and http://kunststube.net/encoding/ explain the difference between Unicode and {UTF-8, UTF-16} better than I could.
