Summary
The documentation page lists Windows PowerShell as a distinct method for submitting MapReduce jobs, with a dedicated link, while Linux/Unix/macOS users are directed to SSH and Curl methods. Windows-specific tooling (PowerShell) is mentioned explicitly and given its own section, whereas Linux equivalents (such as Bash scripts or CLI tools) are not highlighted in the same way. The table lists Windows PowerShell last, but it is the only OS-specific tool called out, suggesting a bias towards Windows tooling.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples and walkthroughs for submitting MapReduce jobs using Bash scripts or Linux CLI tools, similar to the PowerShell example.
  • If PowerShell is given a dedicated section, consider adding parallel sections for Bash or other Linux-native tools.
  • Highlight cross-platform tools first (such as SSH and Curl) before mentioning OS-specific tools like PowerShell.
  • Clarify that SSH and Curl methods are fully supported and provide equivalent functionality on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Ensure that any OS-specific instructions are balanced with equivalents for other platforms.
