Vladimir, what about binary mode (IgniteCache.withKeepBinary)? Two caches may have different encoding settings:
BinaryObject obj = cache1.get(key); // Got fields in utf8 cache2.put(key, obj); // Fields are expected to be in Windows-1251 What do we do here? Re-build the binary object? Also, what about BinaryRawWriter - do we need encoding support there?
