Hello All,

1.      I've a scenario where I need to walk the entire Hash table to retrieve 
the data.  I'm currently using DPDK extensible bucket hash in the rte_table 
library of packet framework.

Since I'll not be storing the keys anywhere else, I don't have a way to walk 
hash table.

I'm planning to write one for my application, but just wanted to check with the 
DPDK community on their thoughts.



2.      I have a scenario where the components whose are not part of the 
pipeline needs to call the DPDK lookup/add apis. Moreover they are interested 
in lookup/insert one entry at a time. With the current approach, I know 
everything works in bursts to achieve more/better performance.



Currently a lookup api's looks like this.

static int rte_table_array_lookup( void *table,    struct rte_mbuf **pkts,    
uint64_t pkts_mask,    uint64_t *lookup_hit_mask,    void **entries)



New addition to the existing lookup,  I would like it to be something like this 
(not exactly, something similar).   With this the outside guy doesn't have to 
construct "rte_mbuf and put the key in the metadata for the DPDK lookup API to 
act "

static int rte_table_array_single_pkt_lookup( void *table,   void *key,   void 
*entry)



Any thoughts on  adding these 2 items officially to dpdk library.



Thanks
