Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily in the 'Run a Spark Scala application locally' section, where only Windows-specific troubleshooting (WinUtils.exe) is discussed, and no equivalent Linux/Mac guidance is provided. The instructions for resolving local Spark issues are Windows-centric, and there is no mention of Linux or Mac requirements or differences. Additionally, the documentation refers to 'Windows computer' first and exclusively when discussing local runs, omitting cross-platform considerations.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit instructions or notes for running Spark Scala applications locally on Linux and Mac, including any prerequisites or common issues (e.g., permissions, environment variables, or file system differences).
- When mentioning Windows-specific tools like WinUtils.exe, also clarify that these are not required on Linux/Mac and briefly describe any platform-specific setup steps.
- Wherever possible, use platform-neutral language (e.g., 'your computer' instead of 'Windows computer') and provide parity in troubleshooting steps for all major operating systems.
- Consider including a table or section that summarizes platform-specific requirements for local Spark development (Windows, Linux, Mac).
