Thanks, Bill. I was using  "netsnmp_table_set_add_indexes" for the
initial addition (don't have access to index_data but only type),
and then when the data is available I either use
"netsnmp_table_dataset_replace_row/netsnmp_table_dataset_add_row"
using the API "netsnmp_table_row_add_index" for index.

I guess it all boils down to using netsnmp_table_data_add_index (using
only types) Vs netsnmp_table_row_add_index (types and indexes).
