A method and apparatus of a device that grows and/or shrinks a table that is shared between a writer and a plurality of readers is described. In an exemplary embodiment, a device receives an entry to be added to the shared table. In response to receiving the entry, the device remaps shared table to add a new storage segment to the shared table. The device further adds the entry to the shared table, where the entry is stored in the new storage segment. In addition, the device updates a shared table characteristic to indicate that the shared table has changed. The device further shrinks the shared table by remapping the table to remove a segment of the table.
