Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows instructions for connecting a client VM to an HDInsight Kafka cluster in a different VNet. However, Windows-specific details (such as editing the hosts file at the Windows path and logging into Ambari with Windows credentials) are given more prominence and detail, especially in the 'Windows OS' section. The Linux section is shorter and lacks parity in step-by-step guidance for Kafka topic operations, which are shown in detail for Windows. Windows terminology and file paths are mentioned explicitly, while Linux equivalents are less emphasized.
Recommendations
  • Ensure both Linux and Windows sections provide equivalent detail and step-by-step instructions for all operations, including Kafka topic creation, production, and consumption.
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side or in parallel sections, rather than Windows-first.
  • Include explicit Linux commands for editing /etc/hosts and accessing Ambari, matching the detail given for Windows.
  • Add Linux-specific troubleshooting tips and clarify any differences in network or DNS setup for Linux VMs.
  • Use neutral language and avoid assuming Windows as the default platform.
