Felipe, I've not played around with this myself. However, after a brief look at the bitcask code, it looks like a timestamp is given to each object as it is written to bitcask - to represent the time it was written, not the time it will expire. The expiry_time is part of the state of the bitcask process passed on startup, and is not looked at during the PUT flow.
Bitcask checks to see if an object is expired when it is read (and also when merging files), by comparing the write_time timestamp with the current time (less the expiry time in seconds) - and the object is then deleted as part of the GET operation. So if the expiry time is disabled, these reads will be forever valid once bitcask has that new state, as no knowledge of the old expiry time is retained in the store. I don't think the object itself has any sense of when it will expire, so I would expect that in your case your data will be preserved. I would recommend testing this before relying on my quick read through. Regards Martin Hi, any hint on this question?
