Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias, particularly in the configuration examples for HDInsight Spark.NET settings. Paths and tool references (such as 7z.exe, winutils.exe, JAVA_HOME, SCALA_HOME, SPARK_HOME) are given exclusively in Windows format (e.g., C:\Program Files\, D:\winutils), and there is no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents. Additionally, the documentation does not provide Linux-specific instructions or examples for these settings, nor does it clarify cross-platform differences.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux and macOS equivalents for all file paths and tool references (e.g., /usr/bin/7z, /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64, /home/user/spark).
  • Explicitly state when a setting is Windows-only, and offer alternative instructions or notes for Linux/macOS users.
  • Include examples or a table showing how to configure these settings on different operating systems.
  • Mention any platform-specific requirements or limitations for tools like winutils.exe, and suggest alternatives or workarounds for non-Windows environments.
  • Review all examples and ensure parity by including at least one Linux/macOS example wherever a Windows example is given.
