i think this is the patch we want.  If you look at JD's patch, he points out 
that it only checks the schema, not the store files.  If any of the store files 
are compressed with LZO but the schema is something else, then his patch will 
give it a 'pass' but it will fail to read.  Checking all the store files is 
pretty time consuming and expensive.

Instead, we can give operators tools to keep themselves out of trouble.  If 
they intend to run LZO, but a single machine is misconfigured, refuse to run 
instead of logging some difficult to find error.

I dont think it's a common case to run uneven configured machines and expect 
the LZO-ed regions to 'flow' to the 'correct' regionservers.  If we really want 
to do that, we should add capabilities to regionservers and requirements to 
regions and stop the assignment in the master. Seems excessive though.
