Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through the use of Windows-style environment variables (e.g., %HADOOP_HOME%), references to Windows-centric configuration paths, and the absence of explicit Linux examples or Linux-specific instructions. Windows tools and patterns (such as referencing Azure PowerShell for data copy) are mentioned, while Linux equivalents (such as Bash scripts or Linux command-line tools) are either omitted or not given equal prominence. The documentation does not provide parity in examples or instructions for Linux users, despite Hadoop's strong presence in Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples for configuration paths (e.g., $HADOOP_HOME instead of %HADOOP_HOME%).
- Provide explicit instructions and examples for both Windows and Linux environments when referencing file paths, environment variables, or command-line operations.
- Mention and demonstrate Linux-native tools (such as azcopy, Bash scripts, or Linux CLI) alongside Windows tools like Azure PowerShell.
- Ensure that any references to configuration files, directory structures, or scripts are shown in both Windows and Linux formats.
- Add a section or callouts for common Linux migration patterns and troubleshooting steps.
