Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. The only platform-specific troubleshooting guidance for running Spark locally is for Windows (WinUtils.exe), with no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents. The instructions for setting environment variables and resolving local run issues are Windows-centric, and there are no examples or notes for Linux users. The documentation does not provide Linux-specific steps or acknowledge differences in local Spark setup on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Add troubleshooting steps for running Spark locally on Linux and macOS, including common issues and environment setup.
  • Include instructions for setting environment variables on Linux/macOS (e.g., using export in bash/zsh).
  • Mention that WinUtils.exe is only required for Windows, and clarify that Linux/macOS do not need this file.
  • Provide parity in examples and screenshots, or add notes where platform-specific differences exist.
  • Explicitly state supported platforms for local Spark development and highlight any platform-specific requirements.
