# Distributed Systems Q&A Dataset
This dataset is collection of question-and-answer pairs related to distributed systems, compiled from a list of commonly asked questions in a college-level class. 
This dataset is designed to assist educators, researchers, and developers working on tuning AI models, chatbots, or educational tools in the field of distributed systems.

### Key Features:
- **Questions**: A variety of questions covering fundamental distributed systems concepts.
- **Answers**: Detailed, accurate, and explanatory answers.
- **Shuffled Order**: Entries are shuffled for non-sequential learning.

## Dataset Structure

The dataset is provided in CSV format, with the following columns:

| Column   | Description                                     |
|----------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Question | A question about distributed systems.           |
| Answer   | A corresponding answer explaining the concept.  |

### Sample Entries:
| Question                                      | Answer                                                                                  |
|-----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| What are the main properties of a distributed transaction?                 | The main properties of a distributed transaction are atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID). Atomicity ensures all operations are completed or none at all. Consistency ensures the system remains in a valid state. Isolation ensures transactions do not interfere with each other. Durability ensures results are permanent. |
| How do distributed systems handle 'Deadlock Detection'? | Distributed systems handle deadlock detection by monitoring resource allocation and communication patterns. Algorithms like wait-for graphs and probe-based methods identify cycles or unresolved dependencies, allowing the system to detect and resolve deadlocks promptly. |
