Ceilometer polling has some UnicodeEncodeError

[Jonah Cui]

Hi,alls
When I use ceilometer collector data,I found it has no data, so I start study and try to found some reason. When I start ceilometer-polling, I see the log has more Error abuot UnicodeEncodeError.
The error infomation as follows:
2016-09-08 03:13:20.440 8476 ERROR ceilometer.agent.manager Traceback (most recent call last):

    Fix UnicodeEncodeError in Ceilometer polling

    In PY3, all strings are sequences of unicode characters. In PY2,
    a string may be of type str or of type unicode. Six provides
    simple utilities for wrapping over differences between Python 2
    and Python 3.[1] So using six.text_type instead of str to be more
    compatible.
    Python 2.x automatically encode the unicode with sys.getdefaultencoding(),
    which is usually 'ascii'. If there are some non-ASCII characters, it can
    raise UnicodeeEncodeError. Add a unit test that use unicode string to test
    PartitionCoordinator to check if there have the same error in the bug.
