TTLs have a maximum precision of a second. There is a prior feature request for millisecond precision here: [Millisecond precision on ttl](https://discuss.aerospike.com/t/millisecond-precision-on-ttl/942).

Is it possible to set expiration of record in millisecond instead of seconds.

Suppose if i want to save my record in aerospike with expiration of 10ms . Is it possible?

10 ms life → No. Minimum life possible is one second. But you can come up with an application level construct so that you don’t succeed in reading a record that is over 10ms old from its last update or alternately from when it was created (from first create… - requires some write side construct also).

My use case is to listen data from aerospike in some milliseconds .
