Summary
The documentation provides both Bash and PowerShell examples for all operations, but consistently lists Windows/PowerShell examples immediately after or alongside Bash, and sometimes refers to Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell, Windows Subsystem for Linux, Windows paths for jq) in prerequisites and example setup. Windows-specific instructions and references (such as using Bash on Windows 10, PowerShell, and Windows paths for jq) are given prominence, and Azure PowerShell cmdlets are mentioned as alternatives for some tasks. Linux/macOS users are supported, but Windows patterns and tools are frequently foregrounded.
Recommendations
  • List Bash/Linux/macOS examples first, as HDInsight clusters are Linux-based.
  • Clarify that Bash examples work natively on Linux/macOS, not just via Windows Subsystem for Linux.
  • Provide explicit instructions for running Bash examples on Linux/macOS (e.g., mention that jq is available via package managers).
  • Reduce references to Windows-specific tools and paths (e.g., avoid hardcoding Windows jq paths in PowerShell examples).
  • Add a section summarizing cross-platform usage, highlighting Linux/macOS parity.
  • Where Azure PowerShell is mentioned, also mention Azure CLI as a cross-platform alternative.
