Summary:
The documentation refers to the driver as the 'Windows Azure Storage Blob driver' (WASB) and discusses it as the prior capability before ABFS. The term 'Windows' is used in the context of Azure Storage Blob, which may suggest a Windows-centric origin or association. However, the technical content, examples, and configuration instructions are platform-neutral and use standard Hadoop tools and configuration files, with no exclusive focus on Windows or PowerShell. Linux/Unix examples are present (e.g., bash commands), and there is no omission of Linux equivalents.
Recommendations:
- Clarify that the 'Windows Azure Storage Blob driver' (WASB) is not Windows-specific, or consider using the acronym 'WASB' primarily to avoid confusion.
- Add a note early in the documentation to emphasize that ABFS and WASB are cross-platform and supported on both Linux and Windows Hadoop distributions.
- Ensure that all examples and configuration instructions remain platform-neutral, and explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility where relevant.
- If mentioning management tools like Ambari, clarify their cross-platform nature or provide Linux-specific alternatives if any exist.
