Very nice. I realize that it is very early days, but applying this patch
I've managed to stumble over some compression bugs doing some COPY's:
benchz=# COPY dim1 FROM '/data0/dump/dim1.dat'
USING DELIMITERS ',';
psql: ERROR: compression failed. what now?
CONTEXT: COPY dim1, line 458
The log has:
2019-04-11 15:48:43.976 NZST [2006] ERROR: XX000: compression failed.
what now?

The dataset is generated from and old DW benchmark I wrote
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/benchw/). The row concerned looks like:
457,457th interesting measure,1th measure
type,aqwycdevcmybxcnpwqgrdsmfelaxfpbhfxghamfezdiwfvneltvqlivstwralshsppcpchvdkdbraoxnkvexdbpyzgamajfp

type,bjgdsciehjvkxvxjqbhtdwtcftpfewxfhfkzjsdrdabbvymlctghsblxucezydghjrgsjjjnmmqhncvpwbwodhnzmtakxhsg
I'll see if changing to LZ4 makes any different.
best wishes
