1. set(string key, string value, int timestamp)

• Stores the key and value, along with the given timestamp.

2. get(string key, int timestamp)

• Returns a value such that set(key, value, timestamp_prev) was called previously, with timestamp_prev <= timestamp.
• If there are multiple such values, it returns the one with the largest timestamp_prev.
• If there are no values, it returns the empty string ("").

Example 1:

Input: inputs = ["TimeMap","set","get","get","set","get","get"], inputs = [[],["foo","bar",1],["foo",1],["foo",3],["foo","bar2",4],["foo",4],["foo",5]]
Output: [null,null,"bar","bar",null,"bar2","bar2"]
Explanation:   
TimeMap kv;   
kv.set("foo", "bar", 1); // store the key "foo" and value "bar" along with timestamp = 1   
kv.get("foo", 1);  // output "bar"   
kv.get("foo", 3); // output "bar" since there is no value corresponding to foo at timestamp 3 and timestamp 2, then the only value is at timestamp 1 ie "bar"   
kv.set("foo", "bar2", 4);   
kv.get("foo", 4); // output "bar2"   
kv.get("foo", 5); //output "bar2"   

Example 2:

Input: inputs = ["TimeMap","set","set","get","get","get","get","get"], inputs = [[],["love","high",10],["love","low",20],["love",5],["love",10],["love",15],["love",20],["love",25]]
Output: [null,null,null,"","high","high","low","low"]

Note:

1. All key/value strings are lowercase.
2. All key/value strings have length in the range [1, 100]
3. The timestamps for all TimeMap.set operations are strictly increasing.
4. 1 <= timestamp <= 10^7
5. TimeMap.set and TimeMap.get functions will be called a total of 120000 times (combined) per test case.

Solution: HashTable + Map

// Author: Huahua, running time: 200 ms
class TimeMap {
public:
  /** Initialize your data structure here. */
  TimeMap() {}

  void set(string key, string value, int timestamp) {
    s_[key].emplace(timestamp, std::move(value));
  }

  string get(string key, int timestamp) {
    auto m = s_.find(key);
    if (m == s_.end()) return "";    
    auto it = m->second.upper_bound(timestamp);
    if (it == begin(m->second)) return "";
    return prev(it)->second;
  }
private:
  unordered_map<string, map<int, string>> s_; 
};
