Hi,<div><br></div><div>Many of my processes (gen_servers) need to store some kind of indexed data in the state record. Usually this involves creating a set/dict/ets table in the init/1 function, assigning it to an element in the state record and using the data on each handle_call/cast/info.</div><div><br></div><div>My usual strategy is anything that is 100% private to my gen_server and will contain less than 50 or so records I will use sets/gb_trees or similar. In all other cases I would use an ETS table.<span style="font-size: 10pt; "> Is there an official recommendation?</span></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>Matt</div><div><br></div> </div></body>
