In-Memory BIN Prefix Database with Trust-Aware Field Merging
4/5This intricate systems-design and data-structure challenge, reported from Square interviews, requires building an in-memory prefix lookup engine with hierarchical trust resolution. You must handle concurrent write semantics, data source overrides, and priority-based field merging for payment card identifiers. It examines your ability to design custom trie structures and apply complex business rules efficiently in memory.
