redis how to expire a key in different hash

Now,I have a redis conn named r, and two hash table named: hash1, hash2. Then

r.hset(hash1, id, value1)
r.hset(hash2, id, value2)

r.expire(id, ttl)

is that valid use? or it's error?

Expire function is not available on hash fields. In the official documentation (picture below) you can find the functions that apply for a hash key.

There exist topics discussion the absence of the expire functionality within a hash. Take a look at this one for example: https://github.com/antirez/redis/issues/3192

You can however manage the deletion yourself using HDEL or some cron task if you have a deletion timeout for all keys. I understand that this is not ideal indeed :-)
