The current DPDK hash library does not support this, unfortunately. There is
currently an effort underway to do a cuckoo hash implementation for DPDK (patches
already on-list), to allow items to move between buckets rather than just failing
if a bucket is full. Please feel free to try out these patches and provide feedback
on them if you can!
