Addresses #2395.

This PR reworks our original container based structure with container type tags and allows us to abstract more shared functionality one level up from the concrete dataset types and move them into the dataset and dataset_view structs. Shared functions like as_dataset_view(), n_rows(), dim() are all abstracted one level up and a new dictionary_view to handle vpq (and all future compressed dataset type) codebooks is introduced in this PR.

dense_owning_matrix/dense_view_matrix (and the VPQ codebook/code matrix aliases) picked between raft::device_matrix and raft::host_matrix via std::conditional_t, even though those are themselves just aliases for raft::mdarray/raft::mdspan with the exact accessor already computed as Accessor. Point the aliases at raft::mdarray/raft::mdspan directly instead.

dense_row_major_dataset_owning_storage/_view_storage also wrapped their matrix/view as a field and hand-forwarded view()/data_handle(), which raft::mdarray/raft::mdspan already provide natively. They now inherit from the matrix/view type instead, so those forwards are no longer needed.

as_dataset_view()/n_rows()/dim() can be shared across all dataset
kinds with zero per-kind dispatch inside dataset/dataset_view
themselves. Adds cuvs::neighbors::experimental::{dataset,dataset_view}
as a Spec/policy-based prototype: every member is a one-line forward
to spec_type::get_*(), with all kind-specific logic (empty_spec,
mdarray_spec, vpq_spec) living outside dataset/dataset_view, which
never name or branch on a concrete kind. dataset and dataset_view
stay two independent, non-inheriting types (no shared_ptr, no
"sometimes owning" object).

Purely additive: lives in its own namespace, not referenced by any
existing type, alias, or call site. Verified via a standalone sandbox
(all three specs, both dataset and dataset_view, asserting n_rows/dim/
as_dataset_view) and a full rebuild + DATASET_C_TEST (7/7) +
CAGRA_C_TEST (14/14) + PREPROCESSING_TEST (226/226) + NEIGHBORS_TEST
(339/339), all passing unchanged from before this commit.

Limitations / not yet done:
- Not wired up: the real dataset/dataset_view types (Container-tagged)
  and every downstream consumer (CAGRA build/search, serialization,
  the C API, compile-time classification traits like
  dataset_view_kind_of/is_padded_dataset_view_v) are untouched. This
  prototype does not replace them yet.
- mdarray_spec's layout choice for the padded case is unverified
  against CAGRA's actual alignment requirements -- needs confirmation
  before real use.
- No sparse (CSR/COO) or scalar-quantized specs; only empty/dense/vpq,
  matching today's four kinds minus the empty/dense split.
- This design is still an open thread with the team, not finalized;
  land as prototype only, pending further review.

…VIDIA#2395)

common.hpp's dataset<ContainerType,DataT,IdxT,Accessor>/dataset_view<...>
(four hand-specialized structs tagged by ContainerType) are replaced by
dataset<T,IdxT,SpecT>/dataset_view<T,IdxT,SpecT>: two independent,
non-inheriting types where every member is a one-line forward to a
per-kind Spec (empty_dataset_spec, padded_dataset_spec,
standard_dataset_spec, vpq_dataset_spec) -- no dispatch inside
dataset/dataset_view themselves. VPQ's codebooks move from three flat,
ungrouped matrices (vq_code_book, pq_code_book, data as direct members)
into a dictionary_type{vq_code_book, pq_code_book} bundle alongside data,
giving every kind the same shape (one data slot + one optional
dictionary slot). The old dataset_view -> owner back-pointer (.dset())
is removed; a VPQ view now holds its own dictionary_view() directly,
matching padded/standard views holding their own state.

Public aliases (device_padded_dataset<T,IdxT> etc.) keep their names and
2-arg construction signatures, so most call sites are unaffected. Call
sites that reached into dataset internals directly needed updating:
.view()/.stride() on a dataset or dataset_view -> .data_view(); raw
.vq_code_book/.pq_code_book/.data member access -> .dictionary_view()/
.data_view(); old 3-arg VPQ construction -> 2-arg (codes,
dictionary_type{vq,pq}). Touches CAGRA build/search/serialize/merge,
VPQ training (pq.cuh), SCANN, Vamana, HNSW export, multi-GPU CAGRA, and
the C API's product-quantizer codebook accessors (pq.cpp) -- the one
place the C API reaches into dataset internals rather than going through
the opaque cuvsDataset handle.

Also: removes detail::vpq_dataset_spec_impl (only empty/padded/standard/
vpq_dataset_spec exist as public specs; padded and standard share
dense_dataset_spec_impl since two tags need the same body, but VPQ had
no second tag to share with, so its body is now inlined directly into
vpq_dataset_spec, consistent with how empty_dataset_spec is already
written).

Verified: full rebuild clean; DATASET_C_TEST (7/7), CAGRA_C_TEST (14/14),
PREPROCESSING_TEST (226/226), NEIGHBORS_TEST (339/339) all pass.

Hi Howard, from our discussion offline, let's think of how the naming should look like for our two dataset view methods.

Current PR:

dataset.data_view() returns the raft_device_matrix_view type
dataset.as_dataset_view() returns the dataset_view type

Proposed:

dataset.as_matrix_view() returns raft_device_matrix_view type
dataset.view() returns dataset_view type

What do you think about the proposed naming? Open to suggestions.

Hi Howard, I see in this PR you are introducing some structure called dictionary? Is that necessary? We should make things as simple as possible.

Merging upstream main (26.12) pulled in code written against pieces of the
old ContainerType-tagged dataset/dataset_view design that this branch
already replaced with dataset<T,IdxT,SpecT>. Git merged these files
without conflict (mostly new/independently-touched code), but the result
didn't compile or was silently wrong against the new API. No functional
changes beyond restoring correct usage of the existing Spec-based API.

- bbq.hpp: BBQ was written as a partial specialization of the old
  4-parameter dataset<ContainerType,DataT,IdxT,Accessor> template, which
  no longer exists. BBQ's shape (a runtime-sized set of alternate
  quantized encodings, mutated in place by the C API) doesn't fit the
  dataset<T,IdxT,SpecT> two-slot (data + dictionary) model that
  padded/standard/vpq share, so it gets standalone bbq_dataset/
  bbq_dataset_view types instead of a SpecT -- same public API as before,
  just no longer named as a dataset<>/dataset_view<> specialization.
  Re-pointed the surrounding trait specializations (owning_dataset_for_view,
  is_bbq_dataset, dataset_view_kind_of, dataset_view_is_device_accessible)
  at the new type names; dropped the now-invalid cagra_view_element_type
  specialization in favor of a plain value_type member.

- factory.cuh: the merge dropped key_hash/operator==(key,key) (needed by
  raft::cache::lru's descriptor cache) entirely, and reverted two of the
  make_key() overloads back to is_vpq_dataset_v (owning-only trait, always
  false for a view) and flat dataset.pq_code_book access. Restored
  key_hash/operator==, fixed the predicate to is_vpq_dataset_view_v, and
  fixed the accessor to go through dictionary_view().pq_code_book.

- cagra.cuh, cagra_build.cuh: reverted back to the old .dset() owner
  back-pointer (dataset_view no longer holds one) in three spots, a bare
  dataset.stride() call (moved to dataset.data_view().stride()), and flat
  vpq_dset.data/.vq_code_book/.pq_code_book member access in
  reconstruct_vpq_queries(); rewritten to use data_view()/dictionary_view().

- test_iterative_cagra_q.cu: a new test added by the merge still used the
  old 3-argument VPQ dataset constructor (vq_code_book, pq_code_book,
  codes); switched to the current 2-argument form (codes, dictionary_type
  {vq_code_book, pq_code_book}).

Verified: full rebuild clean (including the CUB/Thrust version mismatch
from a stale CMakeCache CUB_DIR, fixed by a clean reconfigure -- unrelated
to source changes); DATASET_C_TEST, CAGRA_C_TEST, PREPROCESSING_TEST, and
NEIGHBORS_TEST all pass.

dense_row_major_dataset_view_storage inherits from the mdspan type, so it
already is the view; its view() just returned *this. Drop it and convert
at the two places that called view() on a dataset view (cagra.cuh,
cagra_search.cuh) by using data_view() directly.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
data_view() returned the raft mdspan-derived view of a dataset's rows, while
as_dataset_view() returns the dataset_view type; the two names did not
convey that distinction. Rename data_view() to as_matrix_view() so
"matrix view" consistently means an mdspan derivative (e.g.
device_matrix_view) and "dataset view" means dataset_view. as_dataset_view()
is unchanged. Mechanical rename across dataset/dataset_view, CAGRA,
Vamana, HNSW, MG, tiered index, C API, pq.hpp docs and tests.

Verified: full rebuild clean; DATASET_C_TEST (9/9), CAGRA_C_TEST (15/15),
PREPROCESSING_TEST (226/226), NEIGHBORS_TEST (371/371) pass.

…DIA#2395)

dataset<T,IdxT,SpecT> and dataset_view<T,IdxT,SpecT> carried VPQ-specific
state and methods (a dictionary slot holding the codebooks, and
encoded_row_length/vq_n_centers/pq_n_centers/pq_len/pq_bits/pq_dim gated
behind `requires` clauses). Padded, standard and empty datasets have no
such state, so the shared structs were leaking one kind's abstraction into
every kind, and BBQ could not use them at all (it needed standalone types).

dataset/dataset_view now hold exactly one payload (data_type / view_type,
chosen by the spec) and expose only what every dataset has: n_rows(),
dim(), as_matrix_view(), as_dataset_view() and data(). A spec has three
functions: get_data_view(), get_n_rows(), get_dim(). Anything else a kind
needs is state and methods of that kind's payload, reached through data().

Removed from dataset/dataset_view:
- dictionary_type, dictionary_view_type, dictionary_view(),
  release_dictionary(), release_data() and the std::monostate placeholders
  that padded/standard/empty used for "no dictionary"
- compressed_dataset_spec and the compressed/uncompressed constructor split
- the six VPQ helper methods

VPQ: vpq_owning_storage / vpq_view_storage are the payloads. Each is the
uint8_t codes mdarray/mdspan (so as_matrix_view().data_handle()/extent()
keep working) plus vq_code_book and pq_code_book, with the helper methods
as members. Construction is (codes, vq_code_book, pq_code_book). Callers
that used dictionary_view() now use as_matrix_view(); callers of the
helpers use data().pq_bits() etc.

BBQ: bbq_dataset_spec plugs the quantizer payloads (bbq_owning_storage /
bbq_view_storage, formerly the standalone bbq_dataset / bbq_dataset_view)
into dataset/dataset_view like any other kind. quantizers, add_quantizer,
has_layout and get_quantizer are reached through data(). This undoes the
standalone-BBQ workaround from b70daa5, which only existed because of
the dictionary slot. owning_dataset_for_view and
dataset_view_is_device_accessible now work for BBQ through the generic
templates; dataset_view_kind_of keeps a BBQ partial specialization.

Not moved yet: the VPQ and BBQ payloads/specs/traits still live in
cuvs::neighbors (common.hpp and bbq.hpp). Relocating them out of
cuvs::neighbors is the next step.

Also:
- ann_cagra_bbq.cuh, ann_nn_descent_bbq.cuh: rmm::cuda_stream_view ->
  cuda::stream_ref. These did not compile at HEAD (BBQ NVIDIA#2654 merged
  alongside the stream_ref migration NVIDIA#2521) and are the tests that
  exercise the BBQ change.
- Regenerated Fern pages for the changed headers (fern-api-reference
  hook).

…et.hpp (NVIDIA#2395)

Datasets are a core type, not a neighbors one: quantizers (pq.hpp, bbq.hpp)
and clustering also need them and should not depend on anything in
neighbors. Create cuvs/core/dataset.hpp as the root of the dataset header
tree and move the whole dataset section of neighbors/common.hpp into it:
dataset and dataset_view, the accessor aliases and dense/empty storage,
the empty/padded/standard/vpq specs and their aliases, the kind traits,
with_accessor/device_counterpart, the CAGRA row-width helpers, and the
make_*_padded_dataset / make_*_standard_dataset factories.

neighbors/common.hpp includes the new header, so none of its 67 includers
change. This is a pure cut and paste: the 1187 moved lines are
byte-identical to the removed block, the namespace is still
cuvs::neighbors, and there are no call-site changes. The Fern API
reference is regenerated for the new header (fern-api-reference hook).

Not done yet (follow-ups): the VPQ and BBQ pieces and the
dataset_view_kind enum still live in the moved block and will move into
quantize/pq.hpp and quantize/bbq.hpp as children of dataset; the dataset
types then move from cuvs::neighbors to cuvs::core.

…VIDIA#2395)

core/dataset.hpp is the root of the dataset header tree and must not know
about any compressed kind. Quantizers (pq.hpp, bbq.hpp) include it and
define their datasets as children of dataset/dataset_view, with no
dependency on anything in neighbors/.

core/dataset.hpp:
- Remove the dataset_view_kind enum and dataset_view_kind_of, which named
  vpq_f16/vpq_f32/bbq, and every VPQ-specific type and trait.
- Padded/standard/empty classification is built directly on the spec
  types. New generic dataset_view_has_spec_v<V, SpecPred> lets any kind
  classify its own views with a spec predicate.
- is_dataset_view_v replaces "kind != unknown"; it is false (never a hard
  error) for non-dataset types such as the plain mdspans passed to the
  deprecated build() overloads.
- with_accessor is generic: every spec provides rebind_accessor<NewAccessor>,
  replacing the eight per-kind specializations.
- compatible_host_device_dataset_views_v is "same type as
  device_counterpart_t<H>" instead of comparing kind enums.

quantize/pq.hpp (cuvs::preprocessing::quantize::pq):
- Now holds the VPQ payloads (vpq_owning_storage / vpq_view_storage),
  vpq_dataset_spec, the device_/host_vpq_dataset[_view] aliases, the
  is_vpq_* traits (including the f16/f32 variants) and vpq_params.
- Includes core/dataset.hpp and cluster/kmeans.hpp only; no longer
  includes neighbors/common.hpp.

quantize/bbq.hpp (cuvs::preprocessing::quantize::bbq):
- Includes core/dataset.hpp instead of neighbors/common.hpp. The BBQ
  payloads, bbq_dataset_spec, aliases and traits move here from
  cuvs::neighbors, classified through dataset_view_has_spec_v.

This is a breaking change to the public C++ API: device_vpq_dataset[_view],
host_vpq_dataset[_view], vpq_params, is_vpq_*, device_bbq_dataset[_view] and
is_bbq_* are no longer in cuvs::neighbors. Call sites (CAGRA, NN-descent,
Vamana, SCANN, the C API, benchmarks and tests) are updated; cagra.hpp and
the serialize/test helpers now include pq.hpp explicitly. Fern API pages
are regenerated.

Not done yet: the dataset types themselves are still in cuvs::neighbors
(core/dataset.hpp), so pq.hpp/bbq.hpp still name cuvs::neighbors::dataset;
moving them to cuvs::core is the next step.

Verified: full rebuild clean (13 test targets, including after
clang-format). DATASET_C_TEST (9), CAGRA_C_TEST (15), PREPROCESSING_TEST

NEIGHBORS_TIERED_INDEX_TEST (72) and NEIGHBORS_MG_TEST pass. The ANN
benchmarks are not built in this configuration, so those sources were

Datasets are a core type, so they now live in the namespace that matches
their header: everything declared in cuvs/core/dataset.hpp moves from
cuvs::neighbors to cuvs::core. The quantizers (pq.hpp, bbq.hpp) build their
datasets on cuvs::core::dataset / dataset_view and no longer name anything
in neighbors.

Moved to cuvs::core:
- dataset, dataset_view and the empty/padded/standard specs and aliases
  (device_/host_{empty,padded,standard}_dataset[_view])
- the kind traits, dataset_view_has_spec_v, is_dataset_view_v,
  with_accessor, device_counterpart, owning_dataset_for_view and
  ann_dataset_view
- the make_{device,host}_{padded,standard}_dataset[_view] factories and the
  CAGRA row-width helpers
- the accessor aliases and dense-storage helpers in core::detail

This is a hard break of the public C++ API with no compatibility aliases in
cuvs::neighbors: user code that names cuvs::neighbors::make_device_padded_dataset,
device_padded_dataset_view and the other moved names must switch to
cuvs::core. The PR should be labelled breaking.

Call sites are updated mechanically across cpp, c and examples: about 480
fully-qualified references, plus unqualified uses inside
namespace cuvs::neighbors (mostly cagra.hpp and the C API). The unused
`nb = cuvs::neighbors` alias in cagra.cuh is removed. The Fern API pages are
regenerated and list the types as core::*.

The rewrite had to avoid identifiers that share a name with the moved API:
local variables and parameters named like a type alias (for example
device_empty_dataset_view in add_nodes.cuh and the C API's
device_padded_dataset parameters), and the C API's own static helpers
make_device_padded_dataset / make_host_padded_dataset_view and friends in
c/src/neighbors/cagra.cpp, which are not the core factories. Those are left
unqualified; type names are only qualified where used as templates and
function names only where called.

The examples and the ANN benchmarks are not built in this configuration, so
those sources were updated but not compiled.

Verified: full rebuild clean (13 test targets, including after
clang-format); all pre-commit hooks pass. DATASET_C_TEST (9), CAGRA_C_TEST
(15), PREPROCESSING_TEST (226), NEIGHBORS_TEST (371),

core holds vocabulary types shared by every algorithm, so nothing in it may
carry the name of a child namespace (cagra, ann, ...). Rename the four
identifiers in core/dataset.hpp that did, and reword the comments that tied
the header to CAGRA.

Renames (no behaviour change; unique identifiers, mechanical across cpp, c
and examples):
- ann_dataset_view               -> dataset_like           (46 uses)
- cagra_required_row_width       -> padded_row_width       (18 uses)
- matrix_row_width_matches_cagra_required
                                 -> matrix_has_padded_row_width (15 uses)
- cagra_view_element_type_t      -> dataset_view_value_t   (2 uses)

dataset_like is a structural concept: any type with n_rows() and dim().
Owning datasets and dataset views both satisfy it, so the doc comment no
longer claims it checks for a non-owning view; is_dataset_view_v remains the
nominal check for a literal dataset_view<...>. The padded-width helpers are
general row-padding arithmetic used by the make_*_padded_dataset factories,
not anything specific to CAGRA, so they are renamed rather than moved.

Comments in core/dataset.hpp that referred to "dense graph build", "for
CAGRA", the CAGRA row-width banner, and
cuvs::neighbors::detail::deserialize_standard() are reworded generically. The
header no longer mentions cagra, ann, ivf, hnsw, vamana, scann, brute force,
nn_descent, neighbors, graph, knn or recall in code or comments.

Verified: full rebuild clean (14 test targets, including the Roaring test now
that the upstream stream-API fix is merged); all pre-commit hooks pass.

and NEIGHBORS_MG_TEST had not finished at commit time (the float suite had
1700+ passing and no failures).
The owning and view VPQ payloads were two separate structs that each
declared vq_code_book and pq_code_book, and the call sites reached them
through a mix of as_matrix_view() and data() on the same dataset. Define the
payload once and make every call site bind it a single time.

Unified payload (quantize/pq.hpp):
- vpq_storage<CodesT, BookT> is the single definition: it derives from the
  encoded-rows matrix and holds the VQ and PQ codebooks, sharing the
  existing helper methods (pq_bits, pq_len, ...).
- vpq_owning_storage and vpq_view_storage are now aliases of it, so every
  existing name and member is unchanged. The owning form uses mdarrays; the
  view form uses their const_view_type.
- The type aliases are now grouped as an owning pair: vpq_data_matrix
  (encoded uint8 rows) and vpq_codebook_matrix (renamed from
  vpq_vq_book_matrix, which was misleading because it also types the PQ
  codebook). The non-owning forms are derived from each with
  ::const_view_type, so the separate vpq_codes_view alias and the
  accessor using-declaration it needed are removed. A compile-time check
  confirmed the derived view type is identical to the spelled-out one for
  device and host accessors, half and float codebooks, and 32- and 64-bit
  indices.

Call sites:
- Owning-dataset code binds the payload once as `auto const& vpq =
  X.data()` and uses it for shape, helpers, pointers and strides: the
  decode test helper (vpq_utils.cuh), pq.cuh (transform, inverse_transform,
  vpq_convert_math_type, vpq_build_half) and the C API codebook getters.
  .view() is called only where a view type is required (functions taking
  views, the ScaNN device lambda, DLPack export).
- Code that receives a dataset_view binds the view payload as `auto const&
  vpq_view = dataset_view.data()`: cagra build(), the descriptor-cache
  make_key(), the VPQ distance descriptor init()/priority(), and
  reconstruct_vpq_queries(). The parameter in those functions that was
  called `dataset` is renamed `dataset_view` (and reconstruct_vpq_queries'
  `vpq_view` parameter becomes `dataset_view`) so the owning/view
  distinction is visible from the names. Only code identifiers are renamed,
  not error strings or comments.
- scann_build.cuh binds the codebook through a const reference, keeping the
  read-only view the original code produced (a non-const `data()` would
  otherwise have yielded a mutable view).

No behaviour change.

Hi Howard, thanks for working on this!
The core C++ api still needs improvement (no compression yet, right?)
Please have a look at #2532 that I shared with you earlier.

Please, try to remove these "storage" wrappers on top of mdarrays/mdspans. I see you probably added them to augment the mdarrays with extra logical_dim_ variable to represent padded arrays, right? That is not necessary; a more mdspan-friendly implementation is to reuse the strided/padded layout policy, then use the stride as the "physical" dim and extents as "logical" dim. In raft, we have raft::layout_left_padded<T> to simplify this job.
Check here how it is done in the reference implementation: https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuvs/pull/2532/changes#diff-0dc3b1e88d514cb85de23c490c4c0f494dc436faedf466c0caaf92753a721e07R453-R457

mdarray layout_right_padded aligns to 128 bytes rather than the 16 bytes row alignment that cagra expects so we need to use layout_right_padded with explicit padding?

Would this end up making dense datasets look too similar to mdarray and make it look like a dataset is just a rename of mdarray which is what we wanted to avoid?

We still need a dictionary member to support compressed dataset. Without that, the current implementation is always just a wrapper on top of mdarray.

CI fails building the ANN benchmarks:

  cuvs_cagra_wrapper.h(96): error: copy-list-initialization cannot use a
  constructor marked "explicit"
      return {raft::make_const_mdspan(buffer.view()), static_cast<uint32_t>(src.extent(1))};

That line is unchanged from main, where it compiles. The generic
dataset/dataset_view introduced by the Spec-based rewrite forwards its
constructor arguments to the payload through a single variadic constructor
that was marked `explicit` for every argument count. `return {view, dim};`
is copy-list-initialization, which may not use an explicit constructor, so
every two-argument brace-initialization of a dataset or dataset view stopped
compiling.

The explicit was there to stop a lone raw matrix view from converting
implicitly into a dataset view (and silently binding to overloads meant for
dataset views). That risk only exists for a single argument, so make the
constructors `explicit(sizeof...(Args) == 1)`:
- direct initialization, e.g. device_padded_dataset_view<T, I>(view, dim),
  is unchanged;
- multi-argument brace initialization, e.g. `return {view, dim};`, works
  again as it did before datasets were generic;
- a single argument still cannot convert implicitly.

Applies to both dataset and dataset_view. No call sites change.

Not built locally: the ANN benchmarks (their dependencies are not present
in this configuration), which is why this was only caught in CI. The failing
statement was reproduced and verified in a standalone translation unit
instead: it fails to compile before this change and compiles after it, for a
dataset view and for an owning dataset, with static_asserts confirming that a
single-argument implicit conversion is still rejected.

Verified: formatting hooks pass. The rebuild of the 14 test targets and the
full test run were still in progress at commit time.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added reusable C++ dataset types and views for standard and padded data in host and device memory.
    • Added CAGRA dataset-update options that support changing between dense, VPQ, and BBQ representations.
  • API Changes

    • CAGRA, Vamana, and NN-Descent interfaces now use dataset types from the core and quantization APIs. Applications using the previous dataset types or VPQ parameter declarations may need updates.
  • Documentation

    • Added C++ dataset API documentation and updated references for the revised dataset and quantization APIs.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a generic dataset and dataset-view API under cuvs::core, relocates BBQ and VPQ dataset types and parameters to preprocessing quantization, and updates CAGRA and related integrations to use these APIs. It also updates tests, examples, and C++ API documentation.

Copy device input when its row width is not padded.

These six calls pass ordinary, tightly packed device matrix views to make_device_padded_dataset_view. The core factory rejects a source stride that differs from the required padded stride. For example, a float dataset with dimension 13 fails during CAGRA construction or training. Check the stride before creating a view. If padding is required, create an owning padded dataset and retain it for as long as the CAGRA index views it. Apply the same correction to the binary device-input paths.

Also applies to: 58-58, 89-89, 169-169, 201-201, 231-231

Review comment at @cpp/cmake/patches/faiss-1.14-cuvs-26.08.diff at line 26:
Update all six calls to cuvs::core::make_device_padded_dataset_view in the CAGRA
device-input paths to check whether the source stride matches the required
padded stride. When padding is needed, copy into an owning padded dataset,
retain that owner for as long as the CAGRA index uses its view, and apply the
same handling to binary inputs.

Add Doxygen documentation to the public dataset factory functions.

These public functions in cuvs::core have no Doxygen block:

  • make_device_padded_dataset_view
  • make_device_padded_dataset
  • make_host_padded_dataset_view
  • make_host_padded_dataset
  • make_device_standard_dataset_view
  • make_host_standard_dataset_view

Each block should describe @param, @return, the stride and alignment preconditions, and the cases that throw. One example is that make_device_padded_dataset rejects a device source whose stride is already correct. The new fern/pages/cpp_api/cpp-api-core-dataset.md page depends on this documentation.

make_device_standard_dataset is documented as "Internal use only", but it is a public symbol. Move it to detail, or document it as a public API.

As per coding guidelines: "Doxygen documentation required for all public functions". As per path instructions: "Doxygen documentation for all public functions/classes".

Retain deprecated aliases for moved cuvs::neighbors dataset APIs.

This change removes public names such as cuvs::neighbors::device_padded_dataset_view, cuvs::neighbors::make_device_padded_dataset, cuvs::neighbors::vpq_params, and cuvs::neighbors::device_bbq_dataset_view. Existing downstream code that uses these names can fail to compile. Add deprecated aliases and forwarding wrappers for one release, and update the migration guide with the replacement names.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep deprecated aliases for the removed cuvs::neighbors dataset and VPQ names.

This change removes these public names from cuvs::neighbors and leaves no compatibility path:

  • vpq_params
  • dataset, dataset_view
  • the device_/host_ + padded/standard/empty/vpq/bbq dataset aliases
  • the classification traits
  • the make_*_dataset* factories

Any downstream C++ code that names cuvs::neighbors::vpq_params or cuvs::neighbors::device_padded_dataset stops compiling. It gets no deprecation warning first. The public nn_descent::build BBQ overloads also change their parameter type with no transition.

Add [[deprecated]] aliases that forward to the new cuvs::core and cuvs::preprocessing::quantize::{pq,bbq} names. Add a migration note to the docs.

Do not put the VPQ and BBQ aliases in common.hpp if that creates an include cycle through cuvs/cluster/kmeans.hpp. In that case, put them in pq.hpp and bbq.hpp.

Accept standard views in the descriptor.

When a device_standard_dataset_view passes the padded-row-width guard, search_main sends it to descriptor selection. This predicate rejects standard views, so descriptor initialization can fail with “No dataset descriptor instance compiled for this parameter combination.” Include standard views:

🐛 Suggested fix
-    return cuvs::core::is_padded_dataset_view_v<DatasetT>;
+    return cuvs::core::is_padded_dataset_view_v<DatasetT> ||
+           cuvs::core::is_standard_dataset_view_v<DatasetT>;

Review comment at @cpp/src/neighbors/detail/cagra/compute_distance_standard.hpp
at line 31:
Update the dataset-view predicate used for descriptor selection to accept both
padded and standard views. Locate the predicate returning
`cuvs::core::is_padded_dataset_view_v<DatasetT>` and include
`cuvs::core::is_standard_dataset_view_v<DatasetT>` so standard views that pass
the row-width guard can initialize a descriptor.

`dataset::as_dataset_view()` named `dataset_view` before its definition,
which is why both structs had forward declarations. `dataset_view` does
not refer to `dataset`, and nothing else in the header names `dataset`
before its definition, so:

- drop the `dataset` forward declaration (it was never required)
- define `dataset_view` before `dataset`, which removes the
  `dataset_view` forward declaration too

No behavior change: the two struct definitions are only swapped.
Regenerates the Fern core dataset reference page to match the new order.

Document the new public dataset members.

The forwarding constructor, n_rows(), dim(), and as_dataset_view() lack Doxygen blocks. Add them to meet the public-header requirement. For storage-backed dataset kinds, document that the returned view is non-owning and must not outlive the dataset.

The owning and view dense payloads were two near-identical structs that
each inherited from a matrix type and added `logical_dim_`. Replace them
with a single `dense_row_major_storage<BaseT>`: the owning payload
passes its `raft::mdarray` as `BaseT`, the view payload passes the
`raft::mdspan`, mirroring how `vpq_storage` already serves both.

- `stride()` now uses the view's rule (`BaseT::stride(0)` when
  positive, otherwise `extent(1)`). For a row-major mdarray `stride(0)`
  equals `extent(1)`, so the owning result is unchanged.
- Constructors are the union of the old ones: default, `(BaseT)` which
  infers `logical_dim_` from `extent(1)`, and `(BaseT, dim)`. `BaseT` is
  taken by value so an owning matrix is moved in and a view is copied.
  The single-argument constructor stays explicit and the owning payload
  stays move-only.
- Drop the unused `DataT` and the redundant `ViewT`/`IdxT` template
  parameters; `n_rows()` returns `BaseT::index_type`.

No behavior change.
