--------------------------------------

             Summary: ODBC support for Mac OSX
                 Key: IGNITE-6261
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-6261
             Project: Ignite
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: odbc
    Affects Versions: 2.1
         Environment: Analytics
            Reporter: Pranas Baliuka
            Priority: Critical


In order for Ignite to be useful in analytics environment (accessing data via R / Most reporting engines), the ODBC access is required.

Analyst do use Mac OSX (not only Linux/Windows).

The current ODBC driver is not compilable on OSX due to 1-2 different kernel API functions.
Similar incompatibility issues are already resolved in similar projects using conditional macros in C language. i.e. it may not be a big challenge to make it work.

Thanks for planning and considerations!

PS:
For my use case the issue is a Blocker, because rJAVA is dead (requires Java 6 installation on Mac OSX) and even with rJAVA , the JDBC implementation is not working for R (class cast exceptions).
