Summary
The documentation page exhibits several forms of Windows bias. Visual Studio is presented as the primary development environment, with no mention of Linux alternatives for building C# applications (such as using Mono's command-line tools or VS Code on Linux). The upload instructions rely on Visual Studio's Data Lake Tools and Azure integration, omitting Linux-native methods (e.g., Azure CLI, azcopy, or hadoop fs commands). PowerShell is featured as the only scripted automation example, with no Bash or Linux shell equivalent. The prerequisites and workflow implicitly assume a Windows development environment, and Windows-centric tools/patterns are mentioned before any Linux alternatives, if at all.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for building C# applications on Linux using Mono's command-line tools (e.g., mcs) or VS Code.
  • Provide alternative upload methods using Azure CLI, azcopy, or hadoop fs commands for Linux users.
  • Include a Bash or shell script example for running MapReduce jobs and downloading results, alongside the PowerShell script.
  • Explicitly mention Linux-compatible development workflows and tools in the prerequisites and throughout the guide.
  • Reorder sections or provide parallel instructions so that Linux and Windows approaches are equally represented.
