Problems with Rocksdb

[pSchlarb]

Plenums 3rd parties dependencies use a build of rocksdb from evernym. (https://github.com/evernym/rocksdb)

The built of rocksdb from evernym is not declaring its dependencies such as:
libgflags-dev
libsnappy-dev
zlib1g-dev
libbz2-dev
liblz4-dev
libgflags-dev

When upgrading, investigate using an official package. One that already defines the dependencies properly, hopefully.

The other issue we have to the Python wrapper being used for rocksdb is out of date, and there seems to be a fracturing of replacement wrappers for it.

@WadeBarnes should we close this issue, since we have a working workaround for the moment?
Or should it stay open as a reminder for the rocksdb upgrades?

[WadeBarnes]

It should stay open. Thanks @pSchlarb
