Summary
The documentation assumes the user is on Windows, requiring Excel and Power Query, both of which are only available on Windows. All instructions and examples are for Windows environments, with no mention of Linux or macOS alternatives for connecting to HDInsight data. The prerequisites explicitly require a Windows workstation, and no cross-platform BI tools or workflows are discussed.
Recommendations
- Add guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as using LibreOffice, OpenOffice, or other cross-platform spreadsheet tools.
- Include alternative methods for accessing HDInsight data from non-Windows platforms, such as using Python (pandas), Apache Zeppelin, or web-based BI tools.
- Mention and provide examples for connecting to HDInsight from Linux/macOS using open-source tools or REST APIs.
- Clarify the Windows-only nature of Power Query and Excel, and link to cross-platform documentation for similar tasks.
