Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, providing only instructions and screenshots for Windows tools such as ODBC Data Source Administrator and Excel. There are no examples or guidance for Linux or cross-platform alternatives, and all steps assume a Windows environment. The use of Microsoft Hive ODBC driver and references to Windows-specific UI elements further reinforce the bias.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions for connecting to HDInsight Hive from Excel on macOS and Linux, if supported.
  • Provide examples using open-source ODBC drivers (e.g., unixODBC, Simba ODBC) and show how to configure them on Linux.
  • Add command-line examples for ODBC configuration on Linux (e.g., editing odbc.ini, using isql for testing).
  • Mention and link to cross-platform tools for querying Hive (e.g., DBeaver, Tableau, or command-line clients).
  • Clarify platform limitations and provide parity guidance for non-Windows users.
