Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias primarily in the configuration examples for HDInsight Spark.NET, where paths and tool references are exclusively Windows-centric (e.g., C:\Program Files\7-Zip, D:\winutils, .exe files). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents provided, and the mention of 'windows OS only' further emphasizes the lack of cross-platform consideration. The order of presentation also places Windows paths first, with no alternative shown.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux/macOS configuration examples for Spark.NET settings, such as paths to 7z, HADOOP_HOME, JAVA_HOME, SCALA_HOME, and SPARK_HOME.
  • Explicitly mention platform differences and provide guidance for users on Linux/macOS (e.g., use /usr/bin/7z, /usr/local/hadoop, etc.).
  • Where a setting is Windows-only (e.g., winutils.exe), clarify what Linux/macOS users should do or if the setting is not required.
  • Ensure all examples and instructions are presented for both Windows and Linux/macOS, or at least link to platform-specific setup guides.
  • Consider reordering or grouping settings by platform to make it clear which apply to which OS.
