Livesync and the Postgres connector copy logical data by decompressing compressed hypertable chunks on the fly. Note this limitation and that copying chunks as-is is still on the roadmap.

Document that Livesync and the Postgres connector copy logical data by decompressing compressed hypertable chunks on the fly, so the target starts with columnstore data in row form. Copying chunks as-is is still on the roadmap.
Describe your changes
In response to a customer asking whether Livesync syncs chunks in compressed form. It doesn't: it decompresses on the fly during table copy. Added a concise limitation to both the Livesync replication Limitation section and the Postgres source connector limitations so this is documented instead of only on Slack.
