Welcome to your interview.
The question is on your right: Scale Real-Time Metadata Indexing. Take a moment with it first.
Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.
Walk us through how you would scale a metadata cataloging service that needs to index billions of files in real time for Rubrik.
