While most usage details for these functions are the same for both Scorer and the SQL-MapReduce function, the format for scoring data type, argument clauses, and output generation are slightly modified to isolate Scorer from the Aster framework. For these differences, see the description of the Aster Scoring SDK version of the function in Aster Scoring SDK Functions. For information about the function itself, see the description of its counterpart SQL-MapReduce function.
