Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias towards Windows by using .exe files (MyMapper.exe, MyReducer.exe, MyCombiner.exe) as examples for mapper, reducer, and combiner programs. There are no examples or mentions of Linux-compatible formats (e.g., Python scripts, shell scripts, or Linux binaries), and the only executable format shown is Windows-specific. This may lead Linux/macOS users to believe that only Windows executables are supported, or create confusion about how to use their own scripts.
Recommendations
  • Provide examples using Linux-compatible scripts (e.g., Python, Bash, or compiled Linux binaries) for mapper and reducer.
  • Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux executables are supported, if true, and clarify any platform restrictions.
  • Show parallel examples for both Windows (.exe) and Linux (e.g., .py, .sh) in the JSON sample and file path descriptions.
  • Include a note or section addressing cross-platform compatibility and best practices for users on Linux/macOS.
