Summary: Currently RocksDB silently ignores this issue and doesn't compress the data. Based on discussion, we agree that this is pretty bad because it can cause confusion for our users. This patch fails DB::Open() if we don't support the compression that is specified in the options. Test Plan: make check with LZ4 not present. If Snappy is not present all tests will just fail because Snappy is our default library. We should make Snappy the requirement, since without it our default DB::Open() fails.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
