Summary:
From 2.6 to 2.7, property block name is renamed from rocksdb.stats to rocksdb.properties. Older properties were not able to be loaded. In 2.8, we seem to have added some logic that uses property block without checking null pointers, which create segment faults.
In this patch, we fix it by:
(1) try rocksdb.stats if rocksdb.properties is not found
(2) add some null checking before consuming rep->table_properties
Test Plan: make sure a file generated in 2.7 couldn't be opened now can be opened.
