Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows instructions for connecting a client VM to an HDInsight Kafka cluster across VNets. However, there is a noticeable Windows bias: Windows instructions (editing the hosts file, accessing Ambari, running Java commands) are presented in a dedicated section after the Linux section, but the Windows steps are more detailed and include specific Windows paths and behaviors. The Linux section is brief and lacks parity in troubleshooting and command examples. The documentation references Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., editing C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) and does not provide equivalent PowerShell or Linux shell commands for some steps. There are also more screenshots and step-by-step guidance for Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux and Windows instructions are equally detailed and parallel in structure.
  • Provide explicit Linux shell commands for all steps, including editing /etc/hosts and troubleshooting connectivity.
  • Add troubleshooting tips and screenshots for Linux users similar to those provided for Windows.
  • Include PowerShell commands only where necessary and always provide Bash equivalents.
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side or in a tabbed format to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Mention Linux tools (e.g., nano, vi, curl) wherever Windows tools (e.g., Notepad, browser) are referenced.
