## R2 Data Catalog table-level compaction

Oct 06, 2025 

[ R2 ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/) 

You can now enable compaction for individual [Apache Iceberg ↗](https://iceberg.apache.org/) tables in [R2 Data Catalog](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/data-catalog/), giving you fine-grained control over different workloads.

```bash
# Enable compaction for a specific table (no token required)
npx wrangler r2 bucket catalog compaction enable <BUCKET> <NAMESPACE> <TABLE> --target-size 256
```

This allows you to:

* Apply different target file sizes per table
* Disable compaction for specific tables
* Optimize based on table-specific access patterns
