Support compression configuration

**Problem**
When working with store, the error messages could be more descriptive.

**Suggestion**
Improve error handling and add detailed error messages.

**Context**
This would help with debugging and maintenance.

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. First clarify whether the goal is compression configuration or more descriptive store errors, then locate the relevant store and error-handling path and define the expected behavior and tests before changing anything.
