you need to do a map reduce program, i would do it in bash+python

your map function gets the booking.csv file emits a line as follow:
key: (hotel, start date, end date), value: 1
your reduce function gets all the keys and does sum of the values, and checks it with the file hotels.csv
it emits a line if the sum you got is smaller then the sum in file.
the line will look like this:
hotel, start date, end date

you can do another phase of aggregating the sequence when possible.

the program is as follow:

available_rooms.sh:
-------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# code receives the two files you mentioned
booking_file_path = $1
hotels_file_path = $2

cat booking_file_path | python map_function.py | sort | python reduce_function.py $hotels_file_path

the map_function code is:
-----------
try:
for line in sys.stdin:

if not line or not line.strip():
continue
line = line.strip()
print line+":"+str(1)

except "end of file":
return None

---------
the reduce_function code is:

def reduce_phase(file_path):
last_key, key_sum = None
try:
for line in sys.stdin:
if not line or not line.strip():
continue

line = line.strip()
key,delimiter,value = line.split()

if not last_key:
last_key = key

# if this is the same key as in the previous read line
if last_key == key:
# accumulate
key_sum += 1
# if this is a new key, check from the file the total available space, check it with the
# current sum and emit a line if there is capacity available
else:
check_and_print_result(key, key_sum)
last_key = key

# last key
check_and_print_result(key, key_sum)

except "end of file":
return None

if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
reduce_phase(sys.argv[1])

Create a structure that should include members hotel_name, tot_rooms, room_rent, tot_employee. Assume suitable data for n hotels where n is greater than 4. Display the hotel having largest number of rooms with minimum rent.
