Does Couchbase document expiration affect documents which reference the expired document?

Question

Does Couchbase document expiration affect documents which reference the expired document ? E.g. in the "Modelling documents for retrieval" section of the documentation, there are crater documents which reference asteroid documents as follows:

"crater_id" : "crater1", "on_asteroid" : "asteroidA"

Now, if the document with ID "asteroidA" were to expire, would that affect this record for this crater crater1?

Answer 1

No. A document's TTL (expiry) affects just that document.
