Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by exclusively using Windows-style executable names (e.g., MyMapper.exe, MyReducer.exe) in its JSON sample and file paths, without providing equivalent Linux examples (such as Python or shell scripts). There is no mention of Linux tools or script formats, and the only example given implies the use of Windows executables, which may not be typical for Hadoop Streaming jobs on Linux-based clusters.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-oriented examples alongside Windows ones, such as using Python (.py), shell (.sh), or other script files as mappers and reducers.
- Clarify that Hadoop Streaming supports both Windows and Linux executables/scripts, and indicate any platform-specific considerations.
- Update the JSON sample to show both Windows (.exe) and Linux (.py/.sh) file types for mapper, reducer, and combiner.
- Add a note or section explaining how to prepare and upload Linux-compatible scripts for use in HDInsight Streaming activities.
- Ensure that documentation does not imply Windows executables are required or preferred, and present Linux options equally.
