Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias towards Windows by using '.exe' files for mapper, reducer, and combiner programs in the JSON sample, which are Windows executables. There are no examples or mentions of Linux-compatible scripts (such as Python, Bash, or shell scripts), which are more common in Hadoop Streaming on Linux-based HDInsight clusters. The Windows-style executable is shown first and exclusively, with no Linux alternatives provided.
Recommendations
- Provide examples using Linux-compatible scripts (e.g., Python, Bash, or shell scripts) for mapper and reducer, such as 'mapper.py' and 'reducer.sh'.
- Clarify that both Windows and Linux executables/scripts are supported, and specify any platform limitations.
- Add a section or note explaining how to prepare and upload Linux-based scripts to Azure Storage for use in HDInsight Streaming.
- Show Linux examples before or alongside Windows examples to ensure parity.
