Answer 1

In Rails 4 all I had to do was the def change

def change
  rename_table :old_table_name, :new_table_name
end

And all of my indexes were taken care of for me. I did not need to manually update the indexes by removing the old ones and adding new ones.

And it works using the change for going up or down in regards to the indexes as well.
