0001 ->shows compression method for the index attribute in index describe
0002 -> fix the reported bug (test case included)
Apart from this, I was thinking that currently, we are allowing to
ALTER SET COMPRESSION only for the table and matview, IMHO it makes
sense to allow to alter the compression method for the index column as
well? I mean it is just a one-line change, but just wanted to know
the opinion from others. It is not required for the storage because
indexes can not have a toast table but index attributes can be
compressed so it makes sense to allow to alter the compression method.
Thought?
