317. Shortest Distance from All Buildings (Hard)

You want to build a house on anemptyland which reaches all buildings in the shortest amount of distance. You can only move up, down, left and right. You are given a 2D grid of values0,1or2, where:

  • Each 0 marks an empty land which you can pass by freely.
  • Each 1 marks a building which you cannot pass through.
  • Each 2 marks an obstacle which you cannot pass through.

For example, given three buildings at(0,0),(0,4),(2,2), and an obstacle at(0,2):

1 - 0 - 2 - 0 - 1
|   |   |   |   |
0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0
|   |   |   |   |
0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0

The point(1,2)is an ideal empty land to build a house, as the total travel distance of 3+3+1=7 is minimal. So return 7.

Note:
There will be at least one building. If it is not possible to build such house according to the above rules, return -1.
