After spending some more time, able to get below optimizations:
FYI, I am using table_data_set tables. In my custom table handler,
I am doing below pseudo code: Is this the preferred approach?
for (requests)
//Try to update full row at once.
if table->colnum != LAST_COL
continue;
//fetch existing row
for (rows)
row->index == table_info->index
old_row = row
break;
row = fetch_and_prepare_data()
replace (old_row, row)
