Summary
The documentation page displays Windows bias primarily in the configuration examples for HDInsight Spark.NET settings. Paths and tool references (7z.exe, winutils.exe, JAVA_HOME, SCALA_HOME, SPARK_HOME) are given only in Windows format (e.g., C:\Program Files\...), and winutils.exe is explicitly marked as 'windows OS only' without mentioning Linux/macOS alternatives. No Linux/macOS paths or equivalents are provided, and Windows tools are referenced first and exclusively in these sections.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux/macOS path examples for JAVA_HOME, SCALA_HOME, SPARK_HOME, and 7z (e.g., /usr/bin/java, /usr/share/scala, /opt/spark, /usr/bin/7z).
  • Clarify which settings are Windows-specific and provide Linux/macOS alternatives or note when a setting is not required on non-Windows platforms.
  • Include notes or links to documentation for setting up HDInsight Spark.NET on Linux/macOS, including any differences in required tools (e.g., winutils.exe is not needed on Linux).
  • Present examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS side-by-side or in separate sections for parity.
