Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. The introduction and description focus on using Azure PowerShell from a workstation, implicitly prioritizing Windows tooling. The walkthroughs and links for running Sqoop jobs highlight Azure PowerShell and .NET SDK (both Windows-centric) before mentioning SSH, which is cross-platform. There are no explicit Linux/macOS command examples or walkthroughs in the main body, and the limitations section only discusses Linux-based HDInsight in terms of feature gaps, not usage instructions.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS walkthroughs and command-line examples for running Sqoop jobs, ideally in the main body of the documentation.
  • Present SSH (cross-platform) instructions before Windows-specific tools like PowerShell and .NET SDK, or at least give them equal prominence.
  • Clarify that SSH and Sqoop are fully supported on Linux/macOS, and provide direct links or inline examples for those platforms.
  • Balance limitations discussion by also mentioning any Windows-specific caveats, if present.
  • Consider renaming sections or rewording introductions to avoid implying that Windows/PowerShell is the default or preferred method.
