Spring Data Redis's `Cache` implementation supports _time-to-live_ (TTL) expiration on cache entries.

* _time-to-live_ (TTL) _expiration_ - TTL is only set and reset by a create or update data access operation.
155
+
As long as the entry is written before the TTL expiration timeout, including on creation, an entry's timeout will reset to the configured duration of the TTL expiration timeout.
156
+
For example, if the TTL expiration timeout is set to 5 minutes, then the timeout will be set to 5 minutes on entry creation and reset to 5 minutes anytime the entry is updated thereafter and before the 5-minute interval expires.
157
+
If no update occurs within 5 minutes, even if the entry was read several times, or even just read once during the 5-minute interval, the entry will still expire.

Because Redis servers do not implement a proper notion of TTI, then TTI can only be achieved with Redis commands accepting expiration options. In Redis, the "expiration" is technically a time-to-live (TTL) policy. However, TTL expiration can be passed when reading the value of a key thereby effectively resetting the TTL expiration timeout, as is now the case in Spring Data Redis's `Cache.get(key)` operation.

> WARNING: In order to achieve true time-to-idle (TTI) expiration-like behavior in your Spring Data Redis application, then an entry must be consistently accessed with (TTL) expiration on every read or write operation. There are no exceptions to this rule. If you are mixing and matching different data access patterns across your Spring Data Redis application (for example: caching, invoking operations using `RedisTemplate` and possibly, or especially when using Spring Data Repository CRUD operations), then accessing an entry may not necessarily prevent the entry from expiring if TTL expiration was set. For example, an entry maybe "put" in (written to) the cache during a `@Cacheable` service method invocation with a TTL expiration (i.e. `SET <expiration options>`) and later read using a Spring Data Redis Repository before the expiration timeout (using `GET` without expiration options). A simple `GET` without specifying expiration options will not reset the TTL expiration timeout on an entry. Therefore, the entry may expire before the next data access operation, even though it was just read. Since this cannot be enforced in the Redis server, then it is the responsibility of your application to consistently access an entry when time-to-idle expiration is configured, in and outside of caching, where appropriate.
