Search with wildcard returns no results after compressing structured logs without --timestamp-key

[coderabbitai]

Description

A bug has been identified where searching with wildcard * returns no results when the logs were compressed without specifying the --timestamp-key argument for structured logs.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Compress structured logs without --timestamp-key:

   compress.sh --dataset dataset1 postgresql.log

2. Search with wildcard:

   search.sh --begin-time -100000 --end-time 2000000000000 --dataset dataset1 \*

Expected Behavior

We should prevent user from compress a log w/o the --timestamp-key argument.

Actual Behavior

The files are submitted to the package without warning.

Fwiw, this is documented behaviour: https://docs.yscope.com/clp/main/user-guide/quick-start/clp-json.html#compressing-json-logs

One option might be to disallow users from compressing JSON logs without a timestamp key, when using the package.
