Fetching all User objects throws undefined method error from cache_read_compressed

The production log files for the BioPortal RoR application contain stack traces like this one for any action that results in a fetch of all the user objects:

On a somewhat related note, it appears that the Ruby library we use for LZ4 compression was abandoned in 2014. It's unclear what to use as a potential replacement. Maybe this one: https://github.com/Shopify/lz4-flex-rb?
