Mastery Data Coding Challenge

The purpose of this exercise is to simulate real world requirements and delivering on those requirements.

LTL Service

You have been tasked with implementing a Less-than-load (LTL) truck-shipment matching system. The system combines LTL shipments into a single truckload so that all shipments can be completed by a single truck. For example, you can assume that the average truck can haul 48,000 lbs while the average LTL shipment is 8,000 lbs or less.

Requirements

• Must expose some kind of API (REST/GraphQL or other) to create trucks and shipments

def retry(exception_to_retry, max_retry, delay=10):
    """Implements a decorator function to retry specific exceptions in PySpark jobs.
       Since the function takes in arguments defining the retry mechanism, it
       returns a normal decorator function that takes no arguments.

       Args:
        exception_to_retry: str, exception to search for in PySpark stack trace
        max_try: int, max number of times to retry the function
        delay: int, seconds to wait before next retry
