Like previously when i was using cassandra , the partition key was uidx and composite key was (uidx, card\_type) … so it was easy to maintain ttl for each record .

And this made sure that all user records goes to a same node.

How can this be achieved in aeropsike ? Does secondary index makes sure that records goes to same node ?

Aerospike doesn’t provide an API to multiple keys share the same node. An active discussion on this topic can be found here: [Composit Key](https://discuss.aerospike.com/t/composit-key/5072).

Iirc, there is a similar discussion in feature requests.
