Summary
The documentation page for Azure HDInsight shows a bias toward Windows by emphasizing Windows-only BI tools (Power Query, Microsoft Hive ODBC Driver, Excel integration) and not providing Linux or cross-platform alternatives. Several BI integration examples explicitly require Windows, and there is no mention of Linux-compatible tools or workflows for these scenarios. The development tools section lists both cross-platform and Windows-only IDEs, but the BI tooling is Windows-centric. There are no PowerShell examples or explicit command-line instructions, but the lack of Linux parity in BI tooling and examples is notable.
Recommendations
- Include examples and documentation for Linux-compatible BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Apache Superset, Qlik, or open-source ODBC/JDBC drivers) for connecting to HDInsight.
- Explicitly mention and provide instructions for using cross-platform tools (such as VS Code, IntelliJ, Eclipse) for all relevant workflows, not just development.
- Where Excel or Power Query is mentioned as Windows-only, suggest alternative workflows for Linux users (e.g., using Python libraries like pandas, or open-source spreadsheet tools).
- Add a section or callout highlighting cross-platform and Linux-friendly options for data visualization and BI integration.
- Ensure that all 'Get Started' and 'Next Steps' links and examples are not limited to Windows environments, or provide Linux equivalents where necessary.
