Document expiration / TTL

[Justin]

Classy Couchbase,

 I am trying to set the document expiration value on CBL for Android.  However, I can't seem to find a way to do it.  How do I set the expiration value?

Thanks, 

-Justin

Document expiration is a Couchbase Server feature; it's not in Couchbase Lite. (Historically, it comes from the memcached ancestry, not from CouchDB.)

In general, don’t expect the two to have the same features. They’re both JSON-based document databases with map/reduce, but beyond that they have a lot of differences.

Hey Jens, 

Is there anyway to use the Couchbase Server TTL feature with CBL via sync_gateway? Can I set a default TTL on the server which would be applied to documents replicated over from CBL?

No. TTL is not a feature of the Couchbase Mobile document model.
