Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows, with all instructions and screenshots referencing Windows-specific tools (ODBC Data Source Administrator, Excel for Windows). There are no examples or guidance for Linux or macOS users, nor mention of alternative ODBC setup methods outside Windows. The use of Microsoft Hive ODBC driver and Excel further reinforces the Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
- Add instructions for configuring ODBC data sources on Linux and macOS, using unixODBC and relevant drivers.
- Include examples for connecting to HDInsight Hive from Excel on macOS, or from LibreOffice/other spreadsheet tools available on Linux.
- Mention cross-platform ODBC drivers (such as Simba Hive ODBC, if available for Linux/macOS) and provide download/setup links.
- Provide CLI-based configuration steps for ODBC data sources, suitable for non-Windows environments.
- Clarify platform limitations upfront, and suggest alternative workflows for Linux/macOS users.
