Summary
The documentation is generally cross-platform, as HDInsight Spark clusters are Linux-based and IntelliJ IDEA is available on both Windows and Linux. However, there is a notable Windows bias in the Spark Local Console section, where the prerequisite for WINUTILS.EXE is mentioned without any Linux equivalent or guidance for Linux users. No Linux-specific instructions or troubleshooting are provided, and the documentation does not clarify that WINUTILS.EXE is only required on Windows. This omission may confuse Linux users and suggests an implicit Windows-first assumption for local development.
Recommendations
- Clearly state that WINUTILS.EXE is only required on Windows, and that Linux/macOS users do not need this prerequisite.
- Add a section or note for Linux/macOS users explaining any differences or confirming that no extra steps are needed for local Spark console usage.
- Where platform-specific configuration is required (e.g., environment variables like HADOOP_HOME), provide examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS (e.g., using export in bash for Linux).
- Review the documentation for other subtle Windows assumptions (such as file paths or keyboard shortcuts) and provide Linux/macOS equivalents where relevant.
- Consider adding a troubleshooting section for common platform-specific issues encountered on Linux/macOS.
