Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows/Visual Studio-centric workflow, with all project creation, building, uploading, and job submission steps described using Visual Studio and Azure tools that are primarily Windows-based. While there is a brief mention of SSH for Pig jobs, there are no Linux-native or cross-platform alternatives for building, uploading, or running jobs, and no command-line or non-Visual Studio workflows are provided. Linux is only referenced as the HDInsight cluster OS, not as a development or client environment.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for creating, building, and packaging the C# UDFs using cross-platform tools such as the dotnet CLI and MonoDevelop, which are available on Linux and macOS.
  • Include examples of uploading .exe files to HDInsight storage using Azure CLI and/or azcopy, with command-line instructions suitable for Linux/macOS.
  • Demonstrate how to submit Hive queries and Pig jobs using Azure CLI, SSH, or other cross-platform methods, not just through Visual Studio.
  • Reorder or parallelize instructions so that Windows/Visual Studio and Linux/cross-platform workflows are presented equally, or at least mention Linux alternatives alongside Windows steps.
  • Explicitly state that all steps can be performed from Linux/macOS, and provide guidance for users who do not have access to Visual Studio or Windows.
