CQADupstackProgrammersRetrieval — BEIR, unified schema

A normalised copy of the dataset behind the mteb task CQADupstackProgrammersRetrieval, one of the tasks of the BEIR benchmark as mteb defines it (a member of the aggregate task CQADupstackRetrieval). Same queries, documents and relevance judgements as the benchmark evaluates — reshaped into one strict schema shared by every dataset in this collection.

Schema

config	columns	rules
`queries`	`id: string`, `text: string`	ids unique and non-empty; every query has ≥ 1 qrel
`corpus`	`id: string`, `title: string`, `text: string`	`title` is always present (`""` when the source has none)
`qrels`	`query-id: string`, `corpus-id: string`, `score: int32`	referential integrity to both tables; no duplicate pairs; no floats

Files are Parquet, sorted by id, zstd-compressed, sharded at 500 MB. Every rule above is enforced by a validator before publishing; provenance.json records the source file hashes, what changed, and the output file hashes.

What changed from the source

byte-preserved all text — no whitespace, newline, or control-character normalisation
cast qrels.score double -> int32
kept 3 documents whose text is identical to another document's — a property of the source; note that models embed such documents identically and retrieval ties among them are broken by corpus order
renamed _id → id
renamed source splits (queries←queries/queries, corpus←corpus/corpus) to test

License discrepancy. The upstream dataset card declares cc-by-sa-4.0 while mteb's TaskMetadata declares apache-2.0. This card carries the upstream value as the more conservative choice.
