Connections pane supported?

[henningsway]

I have been able to successfully connect to Impala with implyr using the odbc-package. So far the connections pane isn't working for me (but src_tbls(impala) did).

Is the connctions-pane-functionality supported through the implyr-package?

I haven't yet added support for RStudio's connections pane. Looks like it can be done by implementing a connections contract. I'll give this a try sometime soon. Thanks.

Hi, are you working on this ? Do you want some help on this ?
It would be an awesome feature.
Currently we are using odbc with dbplyr that have the connection contract feature. It has some impala translation but not cover all you put inside implyr.

@cderv I won't have a chance to work on this myself for the next couple of months. If you're able to implement this in a fork, please go ahead and I'll merge your PR! Thank you.
