Grant Henke commented on KUDU-2715:
-----------------------------------

I was doing a bit of research on run Mac docker containers in the past. I am not sure the feasibility, but found a few links that may be a good starting point: 
* https://github.com/Cleafy/sxkdvm

> It seems that there are always a handful of tests that don't pass when run on macOS, though precisely which set depends on the underlying version of macOS. This taxes the release vote process, wherein macOS-based Kudu developers are forced to figure out whether the test failures they're seeing are "known issues" or indicative of problems with the release. Not to mention the day-to-day process of developing on macOS, where you never quite know whether your local work regressed a test, or whether that test was broken all along.
> In the past we looked into macOS CI builds and found the situation to be fairly bleak. Hopefully things have improved since then, but if not, I think we should still get the tests passing uniformly (disabling those which make no sense) and work in an ad hoc fashion towards keeping them that way.
