Hello,

just a note: if you use that large dataset, especially if the purpose is for 
routing decisions/prefix matching, you probably will get a better lookup 
performance with modules that uses another data structure more optimized for 
this case. Two examples for these modules are mtree and carrierroute. A hash 
table can degenerate into linear list(s), if the data is formed in a specific 
way.

Cheers,

Henning

Subject: Re: [SR-Users] Htable reload

I have several htables with various amounts of data in them ranging from a 
couple hundred entries to a couple million entries and while the reload itself 
does take a bit, the vast majority of the delay is the database -> Kamailio 
loading time.  Once the data is in there, the pointer updates haven’t been 
anything I’ve noticed.  I’m sure it takes some measurable amount of time, but 
in my case it’s so imperceptible that it’s irrelevant.

Thanks Alex, I'm wondering how this will affect performance if there are many 
thousands or even millions of records...

No, the reload actually creates a temporary new hash table (in heap), loads the 
entries from the DB into it, then iterates through the buckets of that 
temporary table and replaces the entries (pointers) in the existing table with 
the entries from the temporary table, then frees the buckets in the temporary 
table.
