Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We are working on a clone of Facebook that allows users to share content with their social network. Users view posts in an infinite stream. Our product only has a few thousand users but we expect it to be as popular as Facebook very soon! We want to add a live numeric count to every post showing how many friends the post's author has. Right now, our database has two tables, 'user' and 'user_relationship'. Each friendship relation appears in the database exactly once. The database definition includes: USER 'id' (primary key) 'name' 'created_date' USER_RELATIONSHIP 'id' (primary key, unique to each relationship) 'user1_id' (indexed) 'user2_id' (indexed) 'start_date' What would you do with the database in order to provide this feature for use at a large scale?
