Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias primarily through the requirement and emphasis on WINUTILS.EXE for local Spark console execution, which is a Windows-only tool. The prerequisite and configuration steps for running Spark locally explicitly mention WINUTILS.EXE and HADOOP_HOME, both of which are relevant only for Windows environments. There are no equivalent instructions or troubleshooting steps for Linux or macOS users, nor is there guidance on how to run Spark locally on those platforms. Additionally, the documentation does not provide parity in examples or troubleshooting for non-Windows operating systems, and references to Power BI (a Windows-centric BI tool) reinforce the Windows-first approach.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions for running Spark locally on Linux and macOS, including any required environment variables, dependencies, or troubleshooting steps.
- Clarify that WINUTILS.EXE is only required for Windows, and provide alternative steps for Linux/macOS users (e.g., omitting WINUTILS.EXE and setting HADOOP_HOME appropriately).
- Include example screenshots and configuration dialogs from Linux/macOS environments to ensure parity.
- Mention cross-platform BI tools alongside Power BI, or provide Linux/macOS alternatives where appropriate.
- Review all prerequisite and configuration sections to ensure that Linux and macOS users are not left out or confused by Windows-specific instructions.
