I've just upgraded from 1.4 to 1.6 and from what I understand, compression came in with 1.5. Will the mere upgrade of timescale, compress all my old data? I'm sitting with a space issue right now, and I'm actually wondering if I can move timescale chunks with ALTER TABLE table_partition SET TABLESPACE newtbsp; as mentioned above, instead of move_chunk. We're running community edition. Is this safe to do, or should I wait for the compression to kick in? The database is several hundred GB in size at this point.
@MichaelRazum I would love to know if you had success with moving timescale chunks to a new tablespace in this manner? We have some space issues now, and I want to move some data around until I can sort out an archiving process in a week or two.
