Check if a string is a palindrome in-place, ignoring special characters and case.

Data Structures & AlgorithmsMedium

Given a string containing alphanumeric and special characters, determine if it's a palindrome, ignoring special characters and case. Can you do this in-place (without using extra space)? For example, 12@#.Race@#car is a palindrome. How would you approach this?

Design a high data volume real-time data pipeline.

System DesignMedium

Design a high data volume real-time data pipeline, discussing both high-level and low-level details. For example, imagine you're building a real-time clickstream processing pipeline for an e-commerce website that receives millions of clicks per minute. The pipeline needs to process this data to provide real-time insights such as top-selling products, website traffic analysis, and fraud detection. Consider aspects such as data ingestion, storage, processing, and serving. Discuss the technologies you would choose for each stage and justify your choices. Also, address potential challenges like data volume, velocity, variety, and veracity. How would you ensure the pipeline is scalable, reliable, and fault-tolerant? What monitoring and alerting mechanisms would you implement? How would you handle backpressure and ensure data consistency? Finally, how would you optimize the pipeline for cost-effectiveness and performance?
