Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
missing_linux_example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias. The only file path example for the U-SQL script uses backslashes (scripts\kona\SearchLogProcessing.txt), which is a Windows convention. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform examples or notes about path separators. No PowerShell or Windows-specific tools are mentioned, but the lack of Linux/Unix-style examples or clarifications may confuse non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide both Windows (backslash) and Linux/macOS (forward slash) path examples when referencing file paths.
  • Add a note clarifying that Azure Data Lake paths and script paths are platform-agnostic or specify the required separator.
  • Ensure that any code snippets or configuration examples use forward slashes (/) for paths, or explicitly state if backslashes are required.
  • If relevant, include CLI or scripting examples for both Windows (PowerShell, CMD) and Linux/macOS (Bash, Azure CLI).
  • Review all screenshots and UI references to ensure they do not assume a Windows-only environment.
