Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing exclusively on Windows tools and workflows (Excel, ODBC Data Source Administrator, Windows menus) without mentioning Linux/macOS alternatives or providing cross-platform guidance. All examples and instructions assume a Windows environment, and there is no information for users on other operating systems.
Recommendations
- Add instructions for connecting to HDInsight Hive from Excel on macOS (using native ODBC support or third-party drivers).
- Include Linux/macOS alternatives for configuring ODBC data sources (e.g., using unixODBC, iODBC, or command-line configuration).
- Mention cross-platform ODBC drivers (such as Simba Hive ODBC, if available for non-Windows) and provide download links.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-only and provide parity steps for other platforms where possible.
- If Excel integration is not possible on Linux/macOS, suggest alternative BI tools that work cross-platform (e.g., LibreOffice, Tableau, or Python-based solutions).
