Process a cookie log and return the most active cookie for a specific day

Tech

  • Java 11, Spring Boot (framework), Maven (build tool)

Requirements

Given a cookie log file in the following format:

cookie,timestamp
AtY0laUfhglK3lC7,2018-12-09T14:19:00+00:00
SAZuXPGUrfbcn5UA,2018-12-09T10:13:00+00:00

  • Write a command line program to process the log file and return the most active cookie for a specific day.
  • Include a -f parameter for the filename to process and a -d parameter to specify the date.

e.g. we’d execute your program like this to obtain the most active cookie for 9th Dec 2018.

$ ./[command] -f cookie_log.csv -d 2018-12-09

And it would write to stdout:

AtY0laUfhglK3lC7

We define the most active cookie as one seen in the log the most times during a given day.

Assumptions

  • If multiple cookies meet that criteria, please return all of them on separate lines.
  • Only use additional libraries for testing, logging and cli-parsing.
  • You can assume -d parameter takes date in UTC time zone.
  • You have enough memory to store the contents of the whole file.
  • Cookies in the log file are sorted by timestamp (most recent occurrence is the first line of the file).

Build

  • Go to directory: cookie-filter
  • Using Maven to build and package source code into a jar file:
mvn clean package

Build Successful

Run

  • Still stand at the directory: cookie-filter
  • Run the compiled jar file:
java -jar target\cookie-filter-version-SNAPSHOT.jar -f csv-file-path -d selected-date
  • Example:
java -jar target\cookie-filter-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -f src\logs\cookie_log.csv -d 2018-12-09

Run Successful
