Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While many troubleshooting steps are platform-neutral or reference Linux-based HDInsight clusters and Ambari UI (which is only available on Linux clusters), the initial guidance for gathering cluster details lists PowerShell as an option and references it before Linux equivalents. The mention of PowerShell and Azure CLI is present, but no explicit Linux shell or Bash examples are provided for cluster management tasks (other than troubleshooting WebHCat with curl and netstat). Additionally, the directory path for script action logs uses Windows-style backslashes, which may confuse Linux users. There is a lack of parity in examples for Linux users, especially for cluster management and log access outside of Ambari.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Bash or Linux shell examples for cluster management tasks, such as using Azure CLI from Bash or connecting via SSH to nodes.
  • Reference Linux tools and workflows (e.g., SSH, SCP, Bash scripts) alongside or before Windows/PowerShell equivalents.
  • Use platform-appropriate path separators (forward slashes for Linux) when describing file locations.
  • Clarify when instructions or tools are platform-specific, and offer alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Add examples for accessing logs and managing clusters directly from Linux/macOS terminals.
