Data Engineer 2026 (Japanese) Dataset
A Japanese-language dataset for training and fine-tuning models on modern data engineering topics as of 2026. It contains instruction-tuning (SFT) Q&A pairs and a pretraining corpus covering distributed processing, streaming, data lakehouse, orchestration, transformation, local analytics, modeling, quality and governance, cloud and data platforms, MLOps, and AI/agentic data workflows.
Dataset splits
| Split | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
sft |
1,780 samples | Instruction-following Q&A pairs in Japanese (instruction / input / output). Covers definitions, comparisons, how-tos, design and best practices, debugging, interview-style questions, 2026 trends, outlines, and aspect-specific questions. |
pretrain |
186 samples | Japanese technical explanatory text (chunked articles and notes) about data engineering topics, intended for continued pretraining. |
