Amazon dax client not working as per TTL set on the item

Hi Mahendranaga,

TTL deletion may not always happen at expiry time. You can learn more about how TTL works with DynamoDB and DAX in our docs here:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/howitworks-ttl.html

Here's the relevant excerpt:
DynamoDB typically deletes expired items within 48 hours of expiration. The exact duration within which an item truly gets deleted after expiration is specific to the nature of the workload and the size of the table. Items that have expired and have not been deleted still appear in reads, queries, and scans. These items can still be updated, and successful updates to change or remove the expiration attribute are honored.
