Hidden backwards compatibility issue?

I get the following error with the attached file. Here's a file that's causing the problem (renamed to txt, hoping Github won't get mad). ensemble_solution.txt

I eventually figured out that the problem was that I was trying to load using JuliaDB v0.9 and the file was saved with v0.13. I realize that backwards compatibility isn't guaranteed, but it would be nice to have a more informative error message.

(side note: a higher priority for me would be getting the Nullables dependency upgraded/removed, as that creates a dependency on a very old Compat, which is why I accidentally got stuck on JuliaDB v0.9)
