### Discussed in https://github.com/apache/pekko-persistence-cassandra/discussions/363 <div type='discussions-op-text'> <sup>Originally posted by **EmadAlblueshi** January 27, 2026</sup> Hello Everyone, The current compaction strategy employed for the Apache Cassandra tables is `SizeTieredCompactionStrategy` which is fine for version 4 but version 5 is using `UnifiedCompactionStrategy` as the default strategy and [recommended ](https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/stable/cassandra/managing/operating/compaction/ucs.html) > The UnifiedCompactionStrategy (UCS) is recommended for most workloads, whether read-heavy, write-heavy, mixed read-write, or time-series. There is no need to use legacy compaction strategies, because UCS can be configured to behave like any of them. Do we have any plans to update the current tables to use `UnifiedCompactionStrategy `in line with version 5 best practices?</div> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
