Cloudera Software Developer interview questions

Initial round was a phone round. The person on the phone seemed really friendly at the beginning. Later he started asking a graph problem in Java. The essence of the interview was to gauge my thinking capability as opposed to coding in Java I think. But it turned out to be a nightmare when he the interviewer had a fixed pattern of code in his head to solve the problem. He only wanted me to fill in the blanks whatever he asked me to code into his template. This would seem fairly simple but gets really hard when the interviewer talks about a complex problem and asks you to assume certain things with his template. When some assumption is put into practice to solve the problem he was not ready to accept the solution saying just assume my template is correct. I frankly dont know what that really means. The whole experience was super negative.

Standard Interview process: First a phone screen, Then two onsite sessions. Apparently, the head count for the original team I was interviewing for got moved, so I had to interview with another team, which required another set of interviews. MY panel was really varied. Most of them asked pretty interesting problems in Algorithms and Data Structures and how to parallelize and scale algorithms to many nodes. All of them required me to code on the white board. One interviewer caught me off guard with an idiotic question on OOPS and object/class design.
