Suppose a company wants to develop an application to collect and store the temperature statistics of different countries. The city wise temperature details from all the countries are collected from different online spreadsheets. Some of these spreadsheets contain sorted data and others contain semi-sorted data (chunks of data are sorted).The main requirement of the application is that it should be able to store and search for data quickly. It means if you want to store a country’s temperature stats in this application, it should be able to store it quickly and if you want to search for a specific city’s temperature, it should provide you with fastest possible search.
