Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing exclusively on Windows-based tools and workflows (Excel, ODBC, Microsoft 365/Office), and by providing step-by-step instructions only for connecting to Hive from Excel on Windows. There are no examples or instructions for Linux or cross-platform alternatives, such as using Linux-based ODBC clients, command-line tools, or open-source spreadsheet applications. The documentation also references Windows-specific UI elements and authentication dialogs, and does not mention or prioritize Linux workflows.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions for connecting to Hive from Linux environments, such as using isql or other ODBC clients available on Linux.
  • Provide examples for querying Hive using command-line tools (e.g., Beeline, Hive CLI) on Linux, especially for testing Ranger policies.
  • Mention and demonstrate open-source or cross-platform spreadsheet alternatives (e.g., LibreOffice Calc) and how to connect them to Hive via ODBC or JDBC.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows workflows are given equal prominence, or clearly indicate that the instructions are Windows-specific and link to Linux alternatives.
  • Add a section on using JDBC (which is cross-platform) with sample commands and connection strings for both Windows and Linux.
