Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Windows-centric tools and patterns such as Azure PowerShell and Microsoft Power BI are mentioned before or instead of Linux alternatives. The instructions for cluster creation reference Azure PowerShell and the Azure portal, both of which are more commonly used on Windows. There is no mention of Linux command-line tools (e.g., Azure CLI) or Linux-specific workflows. Examples and integrations focus on Windows-based BI tools (Power BI) and IDEs (Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ, Eclipse), with no mention of Linux-native editors or tools. There are no explicit Linux shell or CLI examples, nor references to Linux package management or scripting.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux-specific instructions and examples, such as using Azure CLI or Bash scripts for cluster creation and management.
  • Mention Linux-native BI tools (e.g., Apache Superset, Grafana) alongside Power BI.
  • Provide examples using Linux command-line tools and workflows, such as SSH access, SCP, or working with Hadoop and Spark from a Linux terminal.
  • Clarify that HDInsight and Spark clusters can be managed from Linux environments and provide parity in documentation for both Windows and Linux users.
  • List Linux-compatible IDEs and editors (e.g., VS Code on Linux, Vim, Emacs) and provide guidance for their use.
  • Add explicit Linux shell examples for common tasks, such as submitting jobs, accessing storage, and monitoring clusters.
