Strategy Pattern

-

A Strategy Pattern says that “defines a family of functionality, encapsulate each one, and make them interchangeable”.

The Strategy Pattern is also known as Policy.

Benefits:

  • It provides a substitute to subclassing.
  • It defines each behavior within its own class, eliminating the need for conditional statements.
  • It makes it easier to extend and incorporate new behavior without changing the application.

Usage:

  • When the multiple classes differ only in their behaviors.e.g. Servlet API.
  • It is used when you need different variations of an algorithm.

Strategy Pattern in (Core Java API’s) or JSE 7 API’s:

Implementation of Strategy Pattern:

Step 1:

Create a Strategy interface.

public interface Strategy {

public float calculation(float a, float b);

}// End of the Strategy interface.

Step 2:

Create a Addition class that will implement Startegy interface.

//This is a class.  

public class Addition implements Strategy {

@Override

public float calculation(float a, float b) {

returna + b;

}

}// End of the Addition class.

Step 3:

Create a Subtraction class that will implement Startegy interface.

//This is a class.  

public class Subtraction implements Strategy {

@Override

public float calculation(float a, float b) {

returna – b;

}

}// End of the Subtraction class.

Step 4:

Create a Multiplication class that will implement Startegy interface.

public class Multiplication implements Strategy {

@Override

public float calculation(float a, float b) {

return a * b;

}

}// End of the Multiplication class.

Step 5:

Create a Context class that will ask from Startegy interface to execute the type of strategy.

public class Context {

private Strategy strategy;

public Context(Strategy strategy) {

this.strategy = strategy;

}

public float executeStrategy(float num1, float num2) {

return strategy.calculation(num1, num2);

}

}// End of the Context class.

Step 6:

Create a StartegyPatternDemo class.

import java.io.BufferedReader;

import java.io.IOException;

import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class StrategyPatternDemo {

public static void main(String[] args) throws NumberFormatException, IOException {

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

System.out.print(“Enter the first value: “);

float value1 = Float.parseFloat(br.readLine());

System.out.print(“Enter the second value: “);

float value2 = Float.parseFloat(br.readLine());

Context context = new Context(new Addition());

System.out.println(“Addition = “ + context.executeStrategy(value1, value2));

context = new Context(new Subtraction());

System.out.println(“Subtraction = “ + context.executeStrategy(value1, value2));

context = new Context(new Multiplication());

System.out.println(“Multiplication = “ + context.executeStrategy(value1, value2));

}

}// End of the StrategyPatternDemo class.

Output:

Strategy Pattern

What is Garbage collection in Spark and its impact and resolution

-
Image
Garbage Collection Spark runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Because Spark can store large amounts of data in memory, it has a major reliance on Java’s memory management and garbage collection (GC). Therefore, garbage collection  (GC) can be a major issue that can affect many Spark applications. Common symptoms of excessive GC in Spark are: Slowness of application Executor heartbeat timeout GC overhead limit exceeded error Spark’s memory-centric approach and data-intensive applications make it a more common issue than other Java applications. Thankfully, it’s easy to diagnose if your Spark application is suffering from a GC problem. The Spark UI marks executors in red if they have spent too much time doing GC. Spark executors are spending a significant amount of CPU cycles performing garbage collection. This can be determined by looking at the “Executors” tab in the Spark application UI. Spark will mark an executor in  red  if the executor has spent more than 10% of the time in gar...

Complex SQL: fetch the users who logged in consecutively 3 or more times (lead perfect example)

-
From the login_details table, fetch the users who logged in consecutively 3 or more times. Table Name : LOGIN_DETAILS Approach : We need to fetch users who have appeared 3 or more times consecutively in login details table. There is a window function which can be used to fetch data from the following record. Use that window function to compare the user name in current row with user name in the next row and in the row following the next row. If it matches then fetch those records. –Table Structure: drop table login_details; create table login_details( login_id int primary key, user_name varchar(50) not null, login_date date); delete from login_details; insert into login_details values (101, ‘Michael’, current_date), (102, ‘James’, current_date), (103, ‘Stewart’, current_date+1), (104, ‘Stewart’, current_date+1), (105, ‘Stewart’, current_date+1), (106, ‘Michael’, current_date+2), (107, ‘Michael’, cur...
