Summary
The documentation page demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the 'Prerequisites' section, where Bash usage is described in the context of Windows 10 (via WSL) before mentioning other Unix shells. Windows PowerShell's Invoke-RestMethod is referenced as an alternative for curl, and there is guidance for adapting curl examples to Windows Command Prompt. However, the main tutorial steps and code samples are Linux/Unix-centric, using SSH, Bash, and HBase shell commands, which are standard for HDInsight clusters (which run on Linux). There are no critical sections that are Windows-only, but Windows tools and patterns are mentioned first and given more explanation than their Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS instructions and examples before Windows-specific adaptations in the prerequisites.
  • Clarify that HDInsight clusters are Linux-based and that Bash/SSH usage is native on Linux/macOS, with Windows users needing WSL or similar.
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples where Windows alternatives are mentioned.
  • Reduce emphasis on Windows PowerShell and Command Prompt unless necessary, and ensure parity in explanation for Linux/macOS users.
