Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation is generally Linux-focused, with Ubuntu VMs and Bash commands as the main examples. However, there is a notable Windows bias in the SSH instructions, where Windows tools and patterns are listed first and in detail, while Linux/macOS are mentioned only briefly. Windows-specific options (Azure Cloud Shell, Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, Git for Windows, OpenSSH for Windows) are enumerated, potentially giving Windows users more guidance and visibility. There are no PowerShell examples or Windows-only steps, but the ordering and tool recommendations show a mild Windows-first bias.
Recommendations
  • Present SSH instructions for Linux/macOS first, as these platforms are the default for HDInsight/HBase workloads.
  • List Windows SSH options after Linux/macOS, or in a separate section, to avoid implying Windows is the primary platform.
  • Include explicit instructions for macOS users if any platform-specific caveats exist.
  • Clarify that all steps are cross-platform unless otherwise noted, and avoid over-emphasizing Windows-specific tools.
  • If possible, provide parity in troubleshooting and tool recommendations for Linux/macOS users.
