Ingestion Coding Exercise

For the given catalog XML files (see ingestion_sample_a.xml and ingestion_sample_b.xml), create an API that provides a searchable interface to search the catalog. An operator must be able to search the catalog by artist, track title, and genre. All search results must be in JSON.

Your project must:

1. Ingest/consumes the xml files
2. Store the track content (title, artist, and genre will suffice)
3. Provide a REST endpoint that allows you to query the records by title, artist. Results should be in JSON
4. (bonus) Your solutions should be executable within a Docker container.

Build

To build project you have to have JDK 8, Maven and Docker installed:

mvn clean package

If build was successful, you'll find the following deliverables in project's target directory:

• ingestion-coding-exercise-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar - executable JAR file with microservice.
• docker/com.dominichenko.test/ingestion-coding-exercise/1.0-SNAPSHOT/tmp/docker-build.tar - docker image archive.

If you want to build project without Docker, just run the following command:

mvn -Ddocker.skip=true clean package

Run

mvn spring-boot:run

or you may just run executable JAR file:

java -jar target/ingestion-coding-exercise-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar 

Load data:

curl -d @./src/test/resources/catalog/ingestion_sample_a.xml -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' http://localhost:8080/api
curl -d @./src/test/resources/catalog/ingestion_sample_b.xml -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' http://localhost:8080/api

Get all records:

curl http://localhost:8080/api

Search records:

Search is performing against artist (parameter a), title (parameter t) or genre (parameter g). You may use combination of these parameters. Comparison is case-insensitive and searches for string inclusion of given parameter value into target string.

curl 'http://localhost:8080/api?a=kenny&t=and&g=country'
