My goal is to migrate to 8.2.1. definitely. But as you said it, I do not
want to recreate unwanted index when migrating. I want to drop them BEFORE.
But, I can't just do a "drop index" command. It fails.
That's why I asked for an advice to drop them or not recreate them. I
would really prefer not to parse the all dump (some GB).
