It is currently not possible to get the Table Id (tid()) from a named ets table.

We have recently discussed to add a function ets:whereis/1 or ets:name2id/1 for this purpose so we have it in our backlog.

No, we do not know when it will get done. If you wish to speed things along, a contribution would be most welcome. It should be quite simple to implement.

The current plan is to introduce an ets:whereis/1 function returning the table reference in OTP 21.

Using the reference to access the table will be more efficient than using the name.

OTP 21 is planned for release mid June but with release candidate in May.
