Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a bias towards Windows by emphasizing Microsoft-centric BI tools (Power BI, Excel with Power Query, Microsoft Hive ODBC Driver), most of which require Windows. There are no equivalent Linux-based BI tool examples or instructions, and the documentation does not mention or recommend cross-platform alternatives. The development tools section also lists primarily Microsoft and Windows-friendly IDEs before others, and does not highlight Linux-native tools or workflows.
Recommendations:
- Include examples and instructions for connecting to HDInsight from Linux-based BI tools (e.g., Tableau on Linux, Apache Superset, DBeaver, or other cross-platform SQL/ODBC clients).
- Explicitly mention and provide guidance for using open-source or cross-platform ODBC/JDBC drivers to connect to Hive/Spark from non-Windows environments.
- Balance the listing of development tools by including Linux-native editors (e.g., Emacs, Vim, Atom) and clarify that IntelliJ, Eclipse, and VS Code are cross-platform.
- Where features or integrations are Windows-only (such as Power Query in Excel), clearly label them as such and suggest Linux alternatives where possible.
- Add Linux-specific examples or walkthroughs for common tasks, such as submitting jobs, querying data, or visualizing results, to ensure parity with Windows instructions.
