Summary:
The documentation is generally Linux-focused, as expected for HDInsight on Linux, with Bash and Linux command-line examples (curl, jq, hdfs dfs). However, there are subtle Windows biases: Windows tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio) are mentioned as access methods for Azure Data Lake Storage, and in some lists, Windows-centric tools or SDKs (e.g., .NET, Visual Studio) are mentioned before Linux-native equivalents. PowerShell is listed as a primary method for accessing Data Lake Storage, and there is no explicit mention of Linux alternatives for some tasks (e.g., Data Lake Tools for Visual Studio).
Recommendations:
- Where PowerShell or Visual Studio tools are mentioned, also explicitly list equivalent Linux-native tools or workflows (e.g., Bash scripts, Linux SDKs, cross-platform editors).
- When listing SDKs or tools, avoid putting Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio, .NET) before Linux-native options unless there is a technical reason; consider alphabetical or platform-neutral ordering.
- For every PowerShell example or reference, provide a Linux/Bash/CLI equivalent if possible.
- Highlight cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Python SDKs) as primary options, and clarify when a tool is Windows-only.
- If a tool is only available on Windows (e.g., Data Lake Tools for Visual Studio), note this explicitly and suggest Linux alternatives where possible.
