Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows environments in the 'Business intelligence on HDInsight' section, where only Windows-based tools (Power Query, Microsoft Hive ODBC Driver, Excel integration) are mentioned or explicitly required. There are no Linux or cross-platform BI tool examples provided. Additionally, the development tools section lists Visual Studio and other Microsoft-centric tools before mentioning cross-platform options, and there is no mention of Linux alternatives or parity for BI integration.
Recommendations:
- Include examples and guidance for connecting to HDInsight from BI tools available on Linux, such as Tableau, Qlik, or open-source alternatives (e.g., Apache Superset, DBeaver).
- Provide instructions for using ODBC/JDBC drivers on Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
- When listing development tools, give equal prominence to cross-platform IDEs (e.g., VS Code, IntelliJ, Eclipse) and clarify their OS compatibility.
- Explicitly state when a feature or tool is Windows-only, and offer Linux/macOS alternatives where possible.
- Add sample walkthroughs or links for BI/reporting integration from non-Windows environments.
