Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias by relying heavily on Visual Studio for building and uploading executables, referencing Data Lake Tools for Visual Studio, and providing PowerShell as the only scripted automation example. Linux alternatives for building C# code (e.g., using Mono or .NET CLI) and uploading files (e.g., Azure CLI, azcopy, or SCP) are not mentioned. The order of presentation also places Windows-centric tools before any Linux equivalents, and PowerShell is the only automation script provided.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for building C# projects on Linux/macOS using Mono or .NET CLI.
  • Include examples for uploading files to HDInsight storage using Azure CLI, azcopy, or SCP.
  • Provide a Bash script example for running MapReduce jobs and downloading results, alongside the PowerShell script.
  • Mention cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code) as alternatives to Visual Studio.
  • Reorder sections to present platform-neutral or Linux/macOS options alongside or before Windows-specific tools.
