This is a cross post from the Erlang Forums. ETS table `select_take` - Proposals: Ideas - Erlang Programming Language Forum - Erlang Forums
I’ve been in need for an ets:select_take function. Currently a select of all keys for matching elements followed by a take is required since select_delete returns only the number of deleted elements. Could also do a select/match followed by a delete but that would mean some updates would technically succeed on an element but not be part of what was selected.
Curious if anyone else has encountered need for this and if anyone knows what an implementation would look like.
