If I'm understanding you correctly, you can write TTL's on each insert.
18 months would be roughly 540 days which would be 46656000 seconds. I've not
tried that number, but I use smaller TTL's all the time and they work fine.
Once they are expired they get tombstones and are no longer searchable
This is necessary under the later versions of 1.6v35 as well. Nodetool will
show the cluster as being down even though individual nodes will be up.
