Hi all,

We would like to setup a new temporal cluster with apache Cassandra as persistence layer. Would like to know compatibility version of newer Cassandra version as in documentation we only found tested to Cassandra 3.11 and 4.0 ([Persistence | Temporal Platform Documentation](https://docs.temporal.io/temporal-service/persistence))

Is there any compatibility issue with Cassandra v5.0 (5.0.5 as per this post)? Especially v4.0 only maintained until v5.1.0 released.

Thank you.

Hi,

Anyone could help or confirm regarding this matter? As documentation still state 4.0, we have doubt on going to v4.1 or v5.0. This could be a concern in future-proofing for self hosted temporal cluster, as Cassandra version v4.0 only maintained until v5.1.0 released.

Open issue [here](https://github.com/temporalio/temporal/issues/6618). Team is still investigating some issues that community users reported with Cassandra 5. We are planning to update docs once support for 5 is fully available.
