Summary
The documentation page shows evidence of Windows bias by listing Windows PowerShell as a distinct method for submitting MapReduce jobs, while Linux/Unix/macOS options are grouped under SSH and Curl. Windows PowerShell is mentioned as a dedicated tool, and the table lists Windows PowerShell as a primary method for Windows users, without mentioning Linux-specific tools (e.g., Bash scripts, Linux command line patterns) or giving parity to Linux-native approaches. The documentation does not provide Linux-specific examples or highlight Linux tools with the same prominence as Windows PowerShell.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux command-line examples for submitting MapReduce jobs, such as using Bash scripts or the Hadoop CLI.
  • Provide parity in tooling by mentioning Linux-native tools (e.g., Bash, shell scripts, Linux CLI utilities) alongside Windows PowerShell.
  • Reorder or balance the table so that Linux/Unix/macOS methods are not grouped generically, but listed with the same specificity as Windows PowerShell.
  • Include walkthroughs or links for Linux-specific job submission methods, not just SSH and Curl.
  • Avoid presenting Windows tools (PowerShell) as the primary or exclusive method for job submission; ensure equal visibility for Linux approaches.
