Help with hypercore (v 2.19.0)

Hello, I am new to Timescale but it looks amazing! I am trying to enable Hypercore on a Hypertable so that I can turn on compression, but keep running into an error.

I am attempting to follow the commands found at ( Timescale Documentation | Hypercore ) and ( Timescale documentation )

I am running TimescaleDB 2.19.0 on PostgreSQL 17.4 on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS.

# SELECT create_hypertable('metrics', by_range('time', INTERVAL '1 day'));
 create_hypertable 
-------------------
 (1,t)
(1 row)

# alter table metrics SET(timescaledb.enable_columnstore, timescaledb.orderby = 'time DESC', timescaledb.segmentby = 'grid_id');
ERROR:  unrecognized parameter namespace "timescaledb"

I also tried without the “orderby”

# ALTER TABLE metrics SET (timescaledb.enable_columnstore = true, timescaledb.segmentby = 'grid_id');
ERROR:  unrecognized parameter namespace "timescaledb"

I think Timescale is loaded/working properly, but with that error, I am not so sure!

Thank you for any insights on what to try next!

Quick update - after installing the latest version (this VM is running Ubuntu, so “sudo apt update” and “sudo apt upgrade”), this issue cleared up!

I have no idea if I was doing something wrong before, or if it was a bug that was fixed, but I am good to go now.
