Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows users: all file and directory commands use Windows Command Prompt syntax, file editing is done with Notepad, and troubleshooting uses PowerShell scripts. There are no equivalent Linux/macOS commands or editor suggestions, despite HDInsight clusters being Linux-based. Linux command-line patterns (e.g., mkdir, rm, nano/vi) are missing, and Windows tools are mentioned exclusively or first.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all command-line instructions (e.g., use mkdir, cd, rm -rf, nano/vi for file editing).
  • Include both Windows and Linux/macOS command blocks side by side or in tabs for each step.
  • Suggest cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code, nano, vi) instead of only Notepad.
  • For troubleshooting, provide Linux command-line solutions (e.g., dos2unix, sed) for fixing line endings, not just PowerShell.
  • Clarify at the start that instructions are for Windows and provide a parallel set for Linux/macOS users.
  • Where possible, use platform-neutral language and tools, especially since HDInsight clusters are Linux-based.
