Summary
The documentation is generally cross-platform, focusing on Hadoop and Azure integration, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. Windows-style environment variables and paths (e.g., %HADOOP_HOME%) are referenced, and Windows terminology is used in describing configuration file locations. Azure PowerShell is mentioned as a data copy method before Linux equivalents. However, all command-line examples are given in bash, and no PowerShell-specific instructions or Windows-only tools are required for critical steps.
Recommendations
  • Replace Windows-style environment variable references (e.g., %HADOOP_HOME%) with platform-neutral or Linux-style ($HADOOP_HOME) equivalents, or mention both.
  • When listing data copy methods, mention Linux-native tools (e.g., DistCp, ADLCopy) before Azure PowerShell, or provide parity in example ordering.
  • Clarify that all steps and tools are available on Linux/macOS, and provide explicit notes or examples for non-Windows users where ambiguity exists.
  • Add a brief section or note confirming that all configuration paths and commands apply equally to Linux-based Hadoop clusters, or specify differences if any.
