Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and workflows, such as Visual Studio and PowerShell, and by omitting Linux-native alternatives for key steps like building and uploading executables. While there is an SSH section for running jobs, the prerequisites and upload instructions assume a Windows development environment and do not provide equivalent guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for building the C# mapper and reducer using the 'dotnet' CLI or Mono's 'mcs' compiler on Linux.
  • Provide examples of uploading files to HDInsight storage using cross-platform tools like Azure CLI, AzCopy, or Hadoop's hdfs dfs command.
  • Include Linux-native editor/IDE options (e.g., VS Code, JetBrains Rider, or command-line editors) alongside Visual Studio.
  • Present PowerShell and Bash (or Azure CLI) job submission and result retrieval examples side-by-side, rather than only after the Windows/PowerShell workflow.
  • Reorder sections or provide parallel tracks so that Linux and Windows users can easily follow platform-appropriate instructions.
