Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and workflows such as Visual Studio and PowerShell. Examples and instructions for uploading files and building applications are provided exclusively for Visual Studio, with no mention of Linux alternatives (e.g., MonoDevelop, dotnet CLI, or command-line builds). The PowerShell example is given as the only scripted automation method, with no Bash or Linux shell script equivalent. The use of Windows file paths and .exe binaries further reinforces the Windows-first approach, and Linux-native development patterns are absent.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for building C# MapReduce applications using cross-platform tools such as dotnet CLI or MonoDevelop, including Linux-specific build commands.
  • Provide examples for uploading files to HDInsight storage using Azure CLI or Hadoop FS commands from Linux/macOS terminals.
  • Include a Bash or shell script example for running MapReduce jobs and downloading results, paralleling the PowerShell example.
  • Clarify that .exe files produced by Mono/.NET can be built and run on Linux, and provide guidance for Linux users.
  • Reorder sections or add notes to ensure Linux workflows are presented alongside or before Windows-specific instructions.
