Just set the TTL on a row

Question

Using Java, can I scan a Cassandra table and just update the TTL of a row? I don\'t want to change any data. I just want to scan Cassandra table and set TTL of a few rows.

Answer 1

Alternatively, you can set a TTL value on the entire table while creating it.

CREATE TABLE test (
    k text PRIMARY KEY,
    v int,
) WITH default_time_to_live = 63113904;

Above example will create a table whose rows will disappear after 2 years.
