Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily in the section about running Spark Scala applications locally. It exclusively discusses the need for WinUtils.exe and setting HADOOP_HOME on Windows, without mentioning Linux or macOS equivalents or requirements. No Linux-specific troubleshooting or environment setup is provided, and the only local run example is Windows-centric. There are no examples or notes for Linux users, and Windows tools/patterns are mentioned exclusively and first.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for running Spark Scala applications locally on Linux and macOS, including any required environment variables or troubleshooting steps.
  • Include notes on differences in local Spark setup between Windows, Linux, and macOS, such as the absence of WinUtils.exe requirement on non-Windows platforms.
  • Provide Linux/macOS-specific error messages and solutions if applicable.
  • Explicitly state platform compatibility for all steps, especially those that are Windows-specific.
  • Offer parity in troubleshooting and setup guidance for Linux users, ensuring examples and patterns are not Windows-exclusive.
