  Migrate Zabbix history/trend tables to TimescaleDB with zero downtime.
  Method: Create two new tables - a temp one which uses a trigger to duplicate new data coming in, and then a new table that 
  we bulk insert existing data into in compressed chunks. Once the bulk inserts are finished, we append the incoming data 
  that was received onto the new table and atomically swap the final result with the existing table.
  
  This script only targets the history_uint table since it is usually the largest; however, this same code can be extended
  to other history and trend tables.
