Summary
The documentation page exhibits moderate Windows bias. It references Azure PowerShell and Windows PowerShell cmdlets as primary methods for cluster setup and customization, often listing them alongside or before Linux alternatives (such as Azure CLI or cURL). The 'Related content' section highlights working from a Windows PC and Windows tools, with no equivalent Linux-focused guidance. Script actions are described as available via the Azure portal, HDInsight Windows PowerShell cmdlets, or .NET SDK, but do not mention Linux-native automation tools or shell scripting. There is a lack of Linux-specific examples or parity in tool recommendations, despite HDInsight clusters themselves being Linux-based.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux shell/bash examples and workflows alongside PowerShell examples for cluster setup and customization.
  • Include references and links to Linux tools (such as Azure CLI, cURL, and shell scripting) before or alongside Windows tools.
  • Add a 'Work in Apache Hadoop on HDInsight from a Linux PC' section in 'Related content', mirroring the Windows PC guidance.
  • Clarify that script actions can be invoked via Azure CLI or REST API, not just Windows PowerShell or .NET SDK.
  • Ensure that all automation and scripting instructions are available for both Linux and Windows environments, with equal prominence.
