Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing exclusively on Windows-based tools and workflows, such as Excel and ODBC drivers, for testing Apache Ranger Hive policies. All example steps and screenshots are tailored for Microsoft Excel on Windows, and there is no mention of equivalent Linux tools or workflows (e.g., using Beeline, DBeaver, or other cross-platform SQL clients). The instructions for connecting and testing access are Windows-centric, and Linux users are not provided with alternative methods to validate Ranger policies.
Recommendations
- Add parallel instructions and examples for Linux users, such as using Beeline or the Hive CLI to test Ranger policies.
- Include examples of connecting to Hive from cross-platform SQL clients (e.g., DBeaver, SQuirreL SQL) that work on both Windows and Linux.
- Provide sample commands for connecting to Hive via JDBC or ODBC from Linux, including how to install and configure drivers.
- Mention and demonstrate how to test policy enforcement using SSH and command-line tools, not just GUI tools like Excel.
- Ensure that prerequisites and tool recommendations include both Windows and Linux options.
