End of preview. Expand in Data Studio
Data Engineering Mentor Dataset v2
This version contains 500 instruction examples created from 50 original data-engineering Q&A concepts: 42 concepts in train and 8 in test. Each concept has ten fixed question-wording variants. Answers and reference links are copied unchanged from the corresponding v1 concept. No new technical facts are introduced by the augmentation script.
Load with Python
pip install datasets
from datasets import load_dataset
data = load_dataset("LoNebula/data-engineering-mentor-dataset-v2")
print(data)
print(data["train"][0]["question"])
Schema and split
Each row includes id, concept_id, topic, question, answer, sources, reference_note, license, messages, and prompt_variant. All ten phrasings for a concept remain in the same split, so variants do not leak across train and test. The effective breadth remains 50 concepts; the increased row count improves wording coverage only.
Provenance and license
The 50 underlying answers were originally composed for v1 and link to public documentation for Apache Airflow, Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, dbt, Apache Iceberg, PostgreSQL, and OpenLineage. These links are further reading and may not directly substantiate every recommendation in an answer; they are not claim-by-claim citations or evidence of expert validation. The answers are general educational guidance and must be checked against current documentation and the reader's system. The wording variants are generated by transparent local templates; answers and links are unchanged. The dataset is released under CC BY 4.0; retain attribution to LoNebula and cite the source dataset.
Limitations
This is a small starter corpus with 50 distinct concepts, not a broad or expert-validated engineering knowledge base. Ten wording variants do not represent ten independent facts. Some recommendations are editorial synthesis rather than claims directly established by a cited page. Verify technical and product-version details against current primary documentation.
Citation
LoNebula/data-engineering-mentor-dataset-v2, CC BY 4.0. Original Q&A concepts are from LoNebula/data-engineering-mentor-dataset; deterministic prompt augmentation by the dataset maintainers.
