yes, that's the feature we supported in 9.2, allowing FT refresh_columns run on LAP. In 9.2.1 we support partition-based refresh_columns on FT. In 9.3 we supported partition-based refresh_columns on FT with LAP.
In general, we attempt to extend FT/LAP capability every release. I can dig up more history if needed.
We are actually doing this very thing in an important PoC that is running in Spain as we speak. And the results are very impressive.
