I'm trying to set documents sent to elasticsearch with TTL in Java.

I call the method setTTL of IndexRequestBuilder when indexing documents.
But I don't know what the time unit and I cannot find in docs and api.

Could anybody helps, Thanks.

It should be milliseconds.

@Binh, thank you, you are right, I find the reference here:

but the problem is that, the TTL doesn't work when indexing a document,
while it works when defined in type mapping. The user encountered the same
problem with me:

Actually I don't know why.

That is correct, the _ttl field is disabled by default:

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-ttl-field.html

To use TTL, you need to enable it first in the mapping and then after that
you can index documents with a TTL value and it will work as expected.

@Binh, enable ttl first in mapping and then use it in REST or client, it
make sense. Thank you again!
