Atomic store is used here to maintain the code consistency.

No, it is not possible. Since, the index is being stored in a key_slot which is 
associated with a deleted key.

Resetting positions[] on each iteration of do…while() require ‘hits’ to be 
reset as well, which causes performance hit.

With lock-free feature, ‘delete’ becomes a two step process of ‘delete’ and 
‘free’. In other words,
it can be viewed by the applications as a 'prolonged delete’. I’m not sure how 
adding a new API
to recycle ext bucket will help solving the issue.
