Django Channels message life time

I have some (possibly huge) amount of JSON data I need to push into Django Channel. The data has very small required lifetime (2-3 seconds is enough). I use Redis as backend.

What is default message lifetime? Is it possible to specify life time of the message?

I found an easy way to resolve my issue without patching asgi_redis code for customer expiry of message.

I created two channel layers in my configuration. Then I set desired short expiry to the second channel layer. All short live time messages now passed and handled by this channel layer consumer.

By default there's no limit to the lifetime, but you can set one by using SETEX instead of SET:

SETEX mykey 10 "Hello"

or by using SET with the EX flag:

SET mykey "Hello" EX 10
