Hall Event Overlap Consolidation

HARD30 pts

A venue operations platform stores booked date windows for events in different halls. Scheduling analysts need a cleaned timeline where overlapping bookings are consolidated so downstream utilization and conflict reporting are accurate.

Table: HallEvents

hall_id: hall identifier
start_day: first day of the event window
end_day: last day of the event window

Notes:

Input rows can contain duplicates.
Merging must be done independently for each hall.
Intervals are inclusive on both ends.

Task: Return consolidated event windows per hall after merging every overlapping interval. Two intervals overlap when they share at least one calendar day.

Output requirements:

Return exactly three columns: hall_id, start_day, end_day
Output row order is not important

Supported submission environments:

SQL (SQLite 3.27.2)
Pandas (Python)

Example

Input

HallEvents:
| hall_id | start_day  | end_day    |
|---------|------------|------------|
| 10      | 2024-01-02 | 2024-01-04 |
| 10      | 2024-01-04 | 2024-01-08 |
| 10      | 2024-01-12 | 2024-01-14 |
| 20      | 2024-02-05 | 2024-02-15 |
| 20      | 2024-02-07 | 2024-02-09 |
| 30      | 2024-03-01 | 2024-03-01 |

Output

[
  {"hall_id":10,"start_day":"2024-01-02","end_day":"2024-01-08"},
  {"hall_id":10,"start_day":"2024-01-12","end_day":"2024-01-14"},
  {"hall_id":20,"start_day":"2024-02-05","end_day":"2024-02-15"},
  {"hall_id":30,"start_day":"2024-03-01","end_day":"2024-03-01"}
]

Explanation

Hall 10 has two overlapping rows that merge into one interval plus one disjoint interval. Hall 20 rows overlap fully. Hall 30 has a single-day event.

Example

Input

HallEvents:
| hall_id | start_day  | end_day    |
|---------|------------|------------|
| 7       | 2025-06-01 | 2025-06-10 |
| 7       | 2025-06-03 | 2025-06-05 |
| 7       | 2025-06-10 | 2025-06-12 |
| 8       | 2025-06-01 | 2025-06-02 |
| 8       | 2025-06-04 | 2025-06-06 |

Output

[
  {"hall_id":7,"start_day":"2025-06-01","end_day":"2025-06-12"},
  {"hall_id":8,"start_day":"2025-06-01","end_day":"2025-06-02"},
  {"hall_id":8,"start_day":"2025-06-04","end_day":"2025-06-06"}
]

Explanation

For hall 7, nesting and boundary-touching rows belong to one merged island. Hall 8 contains two disjoint windows.

Example

Input

HallEvents:
[]

Output

[]

Explanation

No input rows means no consolidated windows.
