Summary
The documentation is generally Linux-focused, with Ubuntu VMs and Bash/SSH commands used throughout. However, there is a notable Windows bias in the section describing how to obtain the SSH utility: Windows options are listed separately and before Linux/macOS, and several Windows-specific tools (Azure Cloud Shell, Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, Git for Windows, OpenSSH for Windows) are mentioned. This may suggest to readers that Windows is a primary platform, despite the actual setup being Linux-based.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS instructions and tools before Windows-specific options when describing cross-platform utilities like SSH.
  • Clarify that the main environment for HDInsight HBase replication is Linux, and that Windows instructions are supplementary for users who happen to be on Windows.
  • For parity, provide explicit instructions for Linux and macOS users first, then add a separate note for Windows users.
  • Avoid listing Windows tools in a way that implies they are required or preferred for the workflow, especially when the main environment is Linux.
  • Where possible, link to cross-platform documentation or note that most commands are identical across Linux, macOS, and Windows (with WSL or similar).
