Q. How would you flatten a nested dictionary?

  • Example: {'a': {'b': 1}} becomes {'a.b': 1}.

  • Handle lists by iterating through their elements and applying the same logic.

Q. Suppose you delete logs while the application is running, and the application is writing logs to another 10GB file. Would you be able to reclaim the space?
Ans. 

Deleting logs while an application is running may not reclaim disk space immediately due to file system behavior.

  • When a file is deleted, the space is marked as free but not immediately reclaimed until the application closes the file.

  • If the application continues to write to the log file, the space may be reused, making recovery difficult.

  • Example: If a log file is deleted but the application holds a file descriptor,...
