Summary
The documentation is generally focused on Linux-based HDInsight clusters and uses Linux-native tools (curl, jq, SSH, Bash scripts) for most examples. However, there is evidence of Windows bias in several areas: PowerShell and Visual Studio tools are mentioned for Azure Data Lake Storage access, and Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio) are listed before or alongside Linux alternatives. There are missing Linux-specific examples for some tasks (e.g., accessing Data Lake Storage Gen1), and Windows-centric SDKs and tools are sometimes highlighted without Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., using curl, jq, or Azure CLI) for all tasks where PowerShell or Visual Studio are mentioned.
  • List Linux-native tools and SDKs before Windows-specific ones, or group them by platform for clarity.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, include equivalent Bash or shell script examples.
  • Highlight cross-platform SDKs and utilities (e.g., Python, Java, Node.js) and clarify their usage on Linux.
  • Add links or documentation for Linux alternatives to Windows-only tools (e.g., Data Lake Explorer for Linux, CLI-based management).
