Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing exclusively on Windows-based tools and workflows, such as Excel and the Microsoft Hive ODBC driver, for testing Apache Ranger policies. All example steps and screenshots are centered around Windows environments, with no mention of Linux alternatives (e.g., using Beeline, Hive CLI, or Linux-based ODBC/JDBC clients). The prerequisites and instructions assume the use of Microsoft Office and Windows authentication dialogs, further reinforcing the Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux-based examples for testing Ranger policies, such as using Beeline, Hive CLI, or Linux-compatible ODBC/JDBC clients.
- Include instructions for connecting to Hive from Linux workstations, possibly using open-source spreadsheet tools (e.g., LibreOffice) or command-line SQL clients.
- Provide screenshots and step-by-step guides for Linux environments alongside Windows examples.
- Clarify in the prerequisites that both Windows and Linux workstations can be used, and specify any required software for Linux users.
- Mention cross-platform authentication and connection patterns, not just Windows dialogs.
