Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows by exclusively using Windows-style executable names (e.g., MyMapper.exe, MyReducer.exe) in its JSON sample and file paths. There are no examples or mentions of Linux-style scripts (e.g., .py, .sh) or guidance for non-Windows users. This may lead Linux/macOS users to believe only Windows executables are supported, despite Hadoop Streaming's cross-platform nature.
Recommendations
- Provide examples using Linux-compatible scripts (e.g., Python .py files, Bash .sh scripts) in addition to Windows executables.
- Clarify in the documentation that both Windows and Linux executables/scripts are supported, if applicable.
- Add notes or sections addressing platform-specific considerations for mapper and reducer programs.
- Ensure that file path examples and naming conventions do not imply exclusivity to Windows.
- If there are platform limitations, explicitly document them.
