Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows, requiring a Windows workstation and Microsoft Excel with Power Query, both of which are only available on Windows. There are no examples or guidance for Linux or macOS users, and all instructions assume a Windows environment. The prerequisites and steps are Windows-specific, and alternative cross-platform BI tools or workflows are not mentioned.
Recommendations
- Add a section describing how Linux and macOS users can access HDInsight data, such as using LibreOffice, Apache Zeppelin, or other cross-platform BI tools.
- Mention any available web-based alternatives to Power Query for Excel, or clarify the limitations for non-Windows users.
- Provide parity by including references or links to Linux/macOS-compatible tools for connecting to HDInsight (e.g., Python pandas, R, or command-line utilities).
- Clearly state the Windows-only nature of the workflow at the beginning, and suggest alternatives for other platforms.
