Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias primarily in the section on running Spark Scala applications locally. It discusses the need for WinUtils.exe and setting the HADOOP_HOME environment variable, which are Windows-specific requirements. There is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents or instructions for running locally on non-Windows platforms. The troubleshooting guidance and prerequisites for local execution are exclusively Windows-focused, with no parallel advice for Linux or macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for running Spark Scala applications locally on Linux and macOS, including any required environment variables or dependencies.
  • Clarify that WinUtils.exe is only needed on Windows, and explain that Linux/macOS do not require this step.
  • Provide troubleshooting steps or common issues for Linux/macOS users when running Spark locally.
  • Ensure that examples and prerequisites for local execution cover all major platforms, not just Windows.
  • Where platform-specific steps are needed, clearly label them and provide alternatives for other OSes.
