Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the prerequisites section, where Bash usage is described in the context of Windows 10 and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is referenced before mentioning native Unix shells. Windows PowerShell's Invoke-RestMethod is suggested as an alternative for curl commands, and there is guidance on adapting curl examples for Windows Command Prompt. While the main tutorial steps use SSH, Bash, and standard HBase/Hive tools (which are cross-platform), the initial orientation and tool suggestions prioritize Windows environments and tools, potentially making Linux users feel secondary.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/Unix-native instructions and examples first, with Windows adaptations as secondary notes.
  • Avoid framing Bash usage primarily in the context of Windows/WSL; acknowledge Bash as a standard shell on Linux and macOS.
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS instructions for REST API usage, and mention Windows alternatives (PowerShell, Command Prompt) only as optional adaptations.
  • If referencing PowerShell or Windows-specific tools, ensure equivalent Linux/macOS commands are given equal prominence.
  • Clarify that all examples work natively on Linux and macOS, and only require adaptation for Windows environments.
