             Summary: Protobufs don't compile on ARM-based Macs (Apple Silicon)
                 Key: PHOENIX-6806
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-6806
             Project: Phoenix
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Geoffrey Jacoby


This is similar to PHOENIX-6475 for 64-bit Linux ARM. Maven will fail looking for an osx-aarch64 version of protoc 2.5.0

However, unlike in the Linux case, we have a good workaround that lets us keep using an official 2.5.0 binary. 

MacOS versions that support Apple's ARM processors can run x64 code through a translation layer (with a perf hit). Therefore, we can change the phoenix-core pom to use the MacOS x86_64 version of protoc if it detects we're running osx-aarch64. 

Unlike running _all_ local development through an x64 JDK, which is very slow, protobuf compilation isn't a big part of the build / test time, so the perf hit for just emulating the protobuf compilation shouldn't be too bad.
