RevoScaleR
In-Teradata Compute Context
With the RxInTeradata compute context, you can perform scalable, distributed computations in-
database. Both High-Performance Analytics functions (such as rxSummary, rxLinMod, and
rxLogit) and High-Performance Computing with rxExec are supported. Complete details for
getting started with RevoScaleR in Teradata can be found in an additional guide, RevoScaleR
Teradata Getting Started Guide.

Enterprise are included in the Revolution R Enterprise 7 Installation Guide for Teradata

RxTeradata Data Source
The RxTeradata data source now supports writing to Teradata via the Teradata Parallel
Transporter.
RxHadoopMR Compute Context
The RxHadoopMR compute context now supports Hadoop systems configured in run-as-user
mode. This support required a change in the RxHadoopMR constructor, so jobs created with
earlier versions of the RxHadoopMR constructor will not be compatible with Revolution R
Enterprise 7.1--delete any leftover jobs in your shared directories.
The RxHadoopMR compute context no longer uses ssh when running directly on a cluster or
edge node.
Data Sources Now Support Specification of Low and High Variable Values
You can now specify low and high values for variables with a data sources colInfo
argument.
New Argument quotedDelimiters for RxTextData Data Source
The RxTextData data source has a new argument quotedDelimiters; if TRUE, delimiters
within quoted strings are ignored.
RxAzureBurst is Now Defunct
