Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias primarily in the 'Run a Spark Scala application locally' section, where only Windows-specific instructions and troubleshooting (WinUtils.exe, HADOOP_HOME environment variable) are provided. There is no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents, nor guidance for running locally on non-Windows systems. The prerequisites and setup steps do not clarify OS-specific differences, and the troubleshooting is exclusively for Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for running local Spark Scala applications on Linux and macOS, including any required environment variables or dependencies.
  • Clarify OS-specific prerequisites and troubleshooting steps, such as how to resolve common issues on Linux/macOS (e.g., permissions, PATH settings).
  • Mention that WinUtils.exe is only required for Windows, and explain that Linux/macOS do not need this file.
  • Provide parity in examples and troubleshooting for all major platforms, not just Windows.
  • Explicitly state supported operating systems for the Azure Toolkit for Eclipse and any limitations or differences in behavior.
