Hi, As per document: https://docs.datastax.com/en/cql/3.3/cql/cql_using/useExpireExample.html
- You can set a default TTL for an entire table by setting the table's default_time_to_live <https://docs.datastax.com/en/cql/3.3/cql/cql_reference/cqlCreateTable.html#tabProp__cqlTableDefaultTTL> property. If you try to set a TTL for a specific column that is longer than the time defined by the table TTL, Cassandra returns an error. When I tried to test this statement, i found, we can insert data with TTL greater than default_time_to_live. Is the document needs correction, or am I mis-understanding it? CREATE TABLE test ( name text PRIMARY KEY, description text ) WITH bloom_filter_fp_chance = 0.01 AND caching = {'keys': 'ALL', 'rows_per_partition': 'NONE'} AND comment = '' AND compaction = {'class': 'org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.SizeTieredCompactionStrategy', 'max_threshold': '32', 'min_threshold': '4'} AND compression = {'chunk_length_in_kb': '64', 'class': 'org.apache.cassandra.io.compress.LZ4Compressor'} AND crc_check_chance = 1.0 AND dclocal_read_repair_chance = 0.1 AND default_time_to_live = 240 AND gc_grace_seconds = 864000 AND max_index_interval = 2048 AND memtable_flush_period_in_ms = 0 AND min_index_interval = 128 AND read_repair_chance = 0.0 AND speculative_retry = '99PERCENTILE'; insert into test (name, description) values ('name5', 'name description5') using ttl 360; select * from test ; name | description -------+------------------- name5 | name description5 SELECT TTL (description) from test; ttl(description) ------------------ 351 Can someone please clear this for me?
