TaxonomyApp

Build a taxonomy service – Should consume text and increment the most commonly used words and their frequency. It should be developed in two parts: • one approach using in memory cache with thread safety constructure • second approach to store the words and frequency in the database

There should be two rest apis :

1. Consume text to be parsed for taxonomy.
2. Api to give list of words and frequency Focus on performance, efficient use of data structures and thread safety!

How to run the code

1. Download the repository and open it as a Gradle-Groovy project
2. Run a standard bootRun
3. Head over POSTMAN
4. Set the command to POST and past the following link :http://localhost:8080/parse. In the body, paste the desired text.
5. Click SEND
6. Set the command now to GET and the paste the following link :http://localhost:8080/frequency.
7. The result shown will be the individual words and their frequencies.

Drawbacks of the Code Repository & Future Improvements

1. As the scope of the project indicates, this code at present doesn't access either a Databse or a Cache. Data should be accessed from the cache and the database and the respective updates of the words and their frequencies should be made as such without using a hashmap

2. The following code is not Thread Safe, doesn't focus much on performace and uses an inefficient data structure.
