Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation page is generally Linux-focused, as it discusses using the HDFS CLI on an HDInsight Hadoop cluster on Linux and provides standard HDFS commands. However, there is a notable instance of Windows bias: the SSH connection example is given in PowerShell syntax, and the phrase 'the sample PowerShell code would look as follows' is used, even though SSH and HDFS CLI usage is essentially the same on Linux and macOS. There are no Linux shell (bash) examples, and the PowerShell example is presented first and exclusively, which may confuse or alienate Linux users.
Recommendations:
  • Provide both PowerShell and bash (Linux/macOS) examples for SSH and HDFS CLI commands, or use a neutral shell syntax.
  • Avoid referring to SSH command-line examples as 'PowerShell code' when the commands are cross-platform.
  • If referencing Windows tools or shells, ensure Linux equivalents are given equal prominence and are presented first if the context is Linux-centric.
  • Clarify that the HDFS CLI commands are the same across platforms, and specify any platform-specific differences if they exist.
