‭Problem Statement 1 - AI-Powered SQL Assistant‬

‭-by‬
P‭ roblem Statement:‬
‭Databases require expertise in schema design, SQL dialects, and query‬
‭optimization. Many developers, analysts, and data engineers struggle with:‬
‭●‬ ‭Designing a well-structured database schema‬‭based‬‭on business needs.‬
‭●‬ ‭Generating DDL (Data Definition Language) statements‬‭to create tables.‬
‭●‬ ‭Generating DML (Data Manipulation Language) statements‬‭to insert,‬
‭update, or delete records.‬
‭●‬ ‭Translating natural language queries into SQL‬‭while‬‭supporting different‬
‭SQL dialects such as‬‭Trino and Spark SQL‬‭.‬
‭●‬ ‭Incorporating user feedback‬‭on query correctness and‬‭refining future‬
‭query suggestions.‬

Y‭ our Challenge:‬
‭Build an‬‭AI-powered SQL assistant‬‭that can:‬
‭●‬ ‭Suggest an optimal database schema‬‭based on natural‬‭language‬
‭descriptions for OLAP use cases.‬
‭●‬ ‭Generate correct DDL and DML statements‬‭for the requested‬‭schema.‬
‭●‬ ‭Provide‬‭SQL completion assistance‬‭.‬
‭●‬ ‭Translate English text into SQL queries‬‭in‬‭Trino or‬‭Spark SQL dialects‬‭,‬
‭based on user selection.‬
‭●‬ ‭Execute queries‬‭using‬‭Trino or Spark SQL as execution‬‭engines‬‭.‬
‭●‬ ‭Incorporate user feedback‬‭to improve query generation‬‭and schema‬
‭recommendations over time.‬
‭Technical Requirements:‬
‭●‬ ‭Dynamically generate SQL statements based on the chosen dialect‬
‭(Trino/Spark SQL).‬
‭●‬ ‭Use a JDBC-compatible database or a mock execution environment for‬
‭validation. Implement feedback learning to refine schema and query‬
‭suggestions over time.‬
‭●‬ ‭Provide an‬‭interactive UI‬‭where users can:‬
‭○‬ ‭Input schema requirements‬
‭○‬ ‭Generate and edit SQL statements‬
‭○‬ ‭Execute queries (optional)‬
‭●‬ ‭Provide feedback‬
‭Utilize‬‭free and preferably open-source AI models‬‭as required‬‭.‬
‭Bonus Features (For Extra Points!)‬
‭Suggest a‬‭storage-optimized and performance-efficient‬‭schema‬‭.‬
‭Leverage‬‭specialized functions based on the selected‬‭SQL dialect‬‭.‬
‭Evaluation Criteria‬
1‭ .‬ ‭Accuracy‬
‭Generated SQL statements should be relevant and correct.‬
‭2.‬ ‭Functionality‬
‭●‬ ‭Proper use of‬‭dialect-specific functions‬‭(e.g., UNNEST‬‭for Trino vs.‬
‭EXPLODE for Spark SQL).‬
‭●‬ ‭Correct usage of‬‭PARTITION BY / CLUSTER BY‬‭etc in‬‭table‬
‭definitions.‬
‭3.‬ ‭SQL Translation Accuracy‬
‭●‬ ‭Proper use of SQL constructs, including‬‭aggregations,‬‭joins, filters,‬
‭limits, and ordering‬
‭●‬ ‭Queries should be‬‭both syntactically and semantically‬‭correct‬‭.‬
‭4.‬ ‭Performance‬
‭●‬ ‭Generated DDL statements should be‬‭optimized for performance‬‭,‬
‭incorporating best practices like partitioning‬
‭●‬ ‭Translated SQL queries should be‬‭optimized for efficient‬‭execution‬
‭5.‬ ‭User Interface‬
‭The UI should be‬‭responsive, simple, and user-friendly‬‭.‬
P‭ roblem Statement 2 - Metastore Viewer for Parquet,‬
‭Iceberg, Delta & Hudi Tables on S3‬
‭-by‬
B‭ ackground‬
‭E6data leverages‬‭lakehouse formats‬‭on object stores‬‭and requires an efficient‬
‭way to explore metadata without relying on traditional metastore services. While‬
‭many metastores allow registering‬‭Parquet, Iceberg,‬‭Delta, and Hudi‬‭tables, most‬
‭do not support metadata exploration when only a‬‭storage‬‭location‬‭(such as an S3‬
‭bucket containing Iceberg tables) is provided.‬
‭Problem Statement‬
‭Develop a‬‭web-based metastore viewer‬‭that enables‬‭users to provide an‬‭S3 (or‬
‭Azure Object Store / MinIO) bucket path‬‭containing‬‭Parquet, Iceberg, Delta, or‬
‭Hudi‬‭tables and retrieve structured metadata, including‬‭(but not limited to):‬
‭●‬ ‭Table Schema‬‭: Column names, data types, partition‬‭keys‬
‭●‬ ‭Table Properties‬‭: Format-specific configurations (e.g.,‬‭Iceberg’s manifest‬
‭files, Delta’s transaction logs)‬
‭●‬ ‭Partition Details‬‭: Partition columns, pruning statistics‬
‭●‬ ‭Versioning & Snapshots‬‭: Iceberg’s metadata.json ,‬‭Delta’s checkpoint files‬
‭●‬ ‭Key Metrics‬‭: File sizes, row counts, storage optimizations‬

‭Requirements‬
‭1.‬ ‭Backend‬
‭●‬ ‭Read‬‭lakehouse file metadata‬‭directly from S3 (or‬‭other object stores)‬
‭●‬ ‭Parse metadata files (e.g., Iceberg manifests, Delta logs) to extract table‬
‭details‬
‭●‬ ‭Expose a RESTful API for the frontend‬
 ‭2.‬ ‭Frontend‬
‭●‬ ‭Accept S3 (or other object store) paths to fetch metadata‬
‭●‬ ‭Provide an interactive UI to browse schemas, partitions, and snapshots‬
‭●‬ ‭Display sample data from the table‬
‭●‬ ‭Visualize table evolution and statistics‬

‭3.‬ ‭Tech Stack‬

‭●‬ ‭Any library if used must be either open source or freeware for enterprise‬
‭use.‬
‭Bonus Features‬
‭●‬ ‭Trino Integration‬‭: Execute queries directly on discovered‬‭tables‬
‭●‬ ‭Metadata Comparison‬‭: Track schema changes over time‬

‭Evaluation Criteria‬
‭●‬ ‭Functionality‬‭: Ability to parse and display metadata‬‭from object stores‬
‭●‬ ‭Usability‬‭: Intuitive and user-friendly UI‬
‭●‬ ‭Performance‬‭: Efficient handling of large and evolving‬‭datasets‬
‭●‬ ‭Innovation‬‭: Features such as snapshot comparison and‬‭change‬
‭summaries are encouraged‬
‭Expected Outcome‬
‭A metastore viewer‬‭that allows users to explore‬‭Iceberg,‬‭Delta, and other‬
‭lakehouse table metadata stored in object stores‬‭,‬‭making it easier to manage and‬
‭analyze large-scale table formats without requiring a dedicated metastore‬
‭service.‬
