Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively describing how to connect to Hive from Excel using the ODBC driver, which is a Windows-centric tool. All examples and instructions for testing Ranger policies are given using Microsoft Excel and the Windows ODBC driver, with no mention of Linux alternatives or cross-platform tools. The prerequisites and workflow assume the user is on a Windows workstation with Microsoft Office installed, and the step-by-step instructions focus on Windows UI elements and dialogs. Linux-based methods (such as using Beeline, Hive CLI, or other open-source database clients) are not referenced, nor are there examples for connecting from Linux or macOS environments.
Recommendations
  • Add examples for connecting to Hive from Linux workstations, such as using Beeline, Hive CLI, or open-source database clients (e.g., DBeaver, SQuirreL SQL).
  • Include instructions for configuring and testing Ranger policies using command-line tools available on Linux and macOS.
  • Mention cross-platform ODBC/JDBC clients and provide sample connection strings and workflows for those environments.
  • Update prerequisites to include Linux and macOS options, and clarify that the workflow is not limited to Windows.
  • Provide parallel examples for importing data into open-source spreadsheet applications (e.g., LibreOffice Calc) on Linux.
