Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, requiring a Windows workstation and Microsoft Excel (with Power Query) for all steps. No Linux or macOS alternatives are provided for connecting to HDInsight data with Excel or Power Query, and only Windows-specific tools and installation instructions are mentioned.
Recommendations
- Add guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as alternative BI tools (e.g., LibreOffice, Apache Zeppelin, or web-based Excel via Microsoft 365).
- Clarify whether Power Query or Excel can be used via browser or on non-Windows platforms, and provide steps if possible.
- Include cross-platform methods for accessing HDInsight data, such as Python (pandas), R, or command-line tools.
- Explicitly state platform limitations and suggest workarounds for non-Windows users.
