Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, requiring a Windows workstation and Microsoft Excel. All instructions and examples use Windows-specific tools (Excel, Power Query add-in) with no mention of Linux-compatible alternatives or cross-platform workflows. The prerequisites and steps assume the user is on Windows, and there are no examples or guidance for Linux users or open-source BI tools.
Recommendations
- Add instructions or links for accessing HDInsight data from Linux workstations, such as using LibreOffice Calc, Apache Zeppelin, or other open-source BI tools.
- Include examples for connecting to HDInsight from non-Windows environments, possibly using Python (pandas, pyodbc), R, or command-line tools.
- Clarify that Power Query and Excel are Windows-specific, and provide parity guidance for Linux users.
- Mention and document open-source or cross-platform alternatives for data import and analysis.
- Reorder prerequisites and examples to avoid assuming Windows as the default platform.
