The expiry_secs parameter applies to a bucket. This means all data in a given bucket is subject to expiration--as defined in the bucket configuration--by the merge process each time it runs.

Hi, We have a situation where our production riak cluster is missing config information. Specifically, we are running bitcask as our backend and we did not define an expiry_secs value, meaning data lives forever (which we don't want). Question: If we changed the config and define expiry_secs, does the expiry condition apply to all existing data or only to new data? Thanks in advance
