Re: Drill on AIX

[James Turton <ja...@somecomputer.xyz.INVALID>]

Pardon the necro-reply here.  We do have some little-endian-only code, 
see UnsafeDirectLittleEndian.java used by DrillBuf.java.  In fact, we 
fail hard if we find the wrong endianness:

 > throw new IllegalStateException("Drill only runs on LittleEndian 
systems.");

A little irony is that the abstract JVM itself is big endian :-).  I 
heard that recent POWER processors are able to flip to little endian, so 
doing that in the AIX guest or region (I don't know the correct terms 
and concepts in that world) that will run Drill is a probably a good 
first step.
