Summary
The documentation page shows evidence of Windows bias in its examples and terminology. The JSON sample exclusively uses Windows-style executables (e.g., MyMapper.exe, MyReducer.exe), which are not portable to Linux-based Hadoop clusters. There are no examples or mentions of Linux-compatible scripts (e.g., Python, Bash, or Java JARs), nor is there guidance for users running on Linux clusters, which are the default for HDInsight. The tutorial link references PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool, before any cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-compatible examples, such as Python scripts, shell scripts, or Java JARs for mapper and reducer.
- Explicitly mention that HDInsight clusters are Linux-based by default and clarify executable requirements.
- Include cross-platform instructions and examples (e.g., using Bash, Python, or Java) alongside any Windows-specific ones.
- Reference cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash) before or alongside PowerShell in tutorials and guidance.
- Add notes about file permissions and script execution for Linux environments.
