Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. The test environment is explicitly Windows 10, all file and directory commands use Windows Command Prompt syntax (cmd), and file editing is done with Notepad. Troubleshooting uses PowerShell scripts for line ending conversion, with no Linux alternatives provided. Linux shell equivalents for directory creation, file editing, and troubleshooting are missing, despite HDInsight clusters themselves being Linux-based.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux shell (bash) equivalents for all file and directory commands (e.g., mkdir, cd, rm -rf).
  • Include instructions for editing files using common Linux editors (e.g., nano, vim) alongside Notepad.
  • Provide troubleshooting steps for line ending conversion using Linux tools (e.g., dos2unix, sed).
  • Present cross-platform commands in parallel, or default to Linux examples given HDInsight's Linux foundation.
  • Clarify that the steps are applicable on both Windows and Linux, and specify any OS-specific differences.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific tools (Notepad, PowerShell) exclusively; offer alternatives for Linux users.
