decompress_chunk()
If you need to modify or add data to a chunk that has already been compressed, you need to decompress the chunk first. This is especially useful for backfilling old data.
tip
Prior to decompressing chunks for the purpose of data backfill or updating you should first stop any compression policy that is active on the hypertable you plan to perform this operation on. Once the update and/or backfill is complete simply turn the policy back on and the system recompresses your chunks.
