Summary
The documentation page exhibits several Windows-centric biases. It provides explicit instructions and examples for Windows environments, such as editing the hosts file using Notepad and handling WinUtils.exe errors, while omitting equivalent steps for Linux or macOS. PowerShell is mentioned as a primary method for networking setup, with no Bash or Linux CLI alternatives. The workaround for SPARK-2356 is described only for Windows, and the artifact paths and instructions use Windows-style paths. Linux-specific instructions are referenced only indirectly or in linked documents, not in the main workflow.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions for editing the hosts file on Linux and macOS, including file paths and editor commands (e.g., using sudo nano /etc/hosts).
  • Provide Linux/macOS alternatives for the WinUtils.exe workaround, or clarify that it is not needed on those platforms.
  • Include Bash or Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell for networking and VPN setup.
  • Use cross-platform file path examples (e.g., <project directory>/src) and clarify differences between Windows and Linux/macOS paths.
  • Mention and illustrate how to copy files from the cluster using native Linux/macOS tools (e.g., scp from a terminal) without requiring Cygwin.
  • Clearly state which steps are platform-specific and provide guidance for users on Linux and macOS throughout the workflow.
