Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While the core pipeline and cluster operations are Linux/Unix-centric (using SSH, SCP, bash, and Hadoop/HDFS commands), the documentation repeatedly presents Windows-specific instructions, tools, and terminology first or exclusively. Windows tools and environments (such as the Azure portal, Query Editor, and references to Windows Subsystem for Linux) are mentioned before or instead of native Linux equivalents. There is a lack of explicit Linux desktop guidance for some steps, and some command examples use Windows command prompt syntax (e.g., 'cmd' code blocks) even when the context is cross-platform.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel instructions and examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS environments, especially for file transfers (SCP), SSH, and database access.
  • When referencing tools like Azure Query Editor or the Azure portal, clarify that these are web-based and platform-agnostic, or provide CLI alternatives (e.g., Azure CLI, sqlcmd) with Linux/macOS usage examples.
  • Avoid using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) as the default or only Linux environment for Windows users; instead, offer native Linux/macOS instructions and note WSL as an option for Windows.
  • For all command-line examples, specify the shell/environment (e.g., bash, cmd, PowerShell) and provide both Windows and Linux/macOS syntax where they differ.
  • Ensure that any references to browser extensions or tools (like Foxy Proxy) include Linux/macOS installation and usage notes.
  • Review the order of instructions to avoid always presenting Windows-first; alternate or present Linux/macOS and Windows instructions in parallel sections.
