Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily in the 'Run a Spark Scala application locally' section, where only Windows-specific instructions (WinUtils.exe, HADOOP_HOME) are provided for resolving local Spark issues. There are no equivalent instructions or troubleshooting steps for Linux or macOS users. Additionally, Windows is mentioned first and exclusively in the local run prerequisite, and the overall troubleshooting guidance is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions for running Spark Scala applications locally on Linux and macOS, including common issues and solutions (e.g., permissions, environment variables, file system requirements).
  • Clarify whether WinUtils.exe is only required for Windows and what Linux/macOS users should expect or do in similar scenarios.
  • Include troubleshooting steps for local Spark execution on Linux/macOS, such as handling Hadoop dependencies and environment setup.
  • Where platform-specific instructions are needed, present them in parallel sections (Windows, Linux, macOS) for parity.
  • Review other sections for implicit Windows assumptions and ensure cross-platform applicability is clear.
