Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation references the Windows-style environment variable (%HADOOP_HOME%) when describing the location of the core-site.xml file, and does not provide the Linux equivalent ($HADOOP_HOME). This suggests a subtle Windows-first bias. No explicit PowerShell or Windows command-line examples are present, but the use of Windows path notation and environment variable syntax may confuse Linux users. There are no Linux-specific examples or clarifications.
Recommendations
  • When referencing environment variables or file paths, provide both Windows (%HADOOP_HOME%) and Linux ($HADOOP_HOME) syntax.
  • Clarify that the location of configuration files applies to both Windows and Linux clusters, and show both path formats if they differ.
  • Review for any other implicit Windows assumptions and ensure Linux parity in terminology and examples.
  • If command-line examples are added in the future, ensure both Windows (cmd/PowerShell) and Linux (bash) examples are provided.
