Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically requiring a Windows workstation and Microsoft Excel with Power Query, both of which are not available on Linux. There are no instructions or alternatives provided for Linux users, and all tooling and workflows are based on Windows-only software.
Recommendations:
- Acknowledge the Windows-only nature of Excel and Power Query, and explicitly state that the workflow is not available on Linux or macOS.
- Provide alternative methods for Linux users to access and analyze HDInsight/Hadoop data, such as using open-source BI tools (e.g., Apache Zeppelin, Jupyter Notebooks, LibreOffice Calc with ODBC/JDBC connectors).
- Include links or references to cross-platform tools and workflows for data import and analysis.
- If possible, add a section or a separate article for Linux/macOS users, outlining equivalent data access and analysis options.
