Summary: Previously, calling `DB::CreateColumnFamily(opts, "", &handle)` returned `Status::OK()` with a usable handle, but the column family was not persisted in the manifest. Any data written to the empty-named CF was silently lost on DB reopen, and `ListColumnFamilies` would not show it. The empty string is also reserved as a sentinel meaning "no/unknown column family" in various RocksDB APIs and serialization formats (e.g. `TablePropertiesCollectorFactory::Context::kUnknownColumnFamily` and table properties), so allowing it as a real CF name is ambiguous in addition to being broken. This change rejects an empty CF name with `Status::InvalidArgument` at the top of `DBImpl::CreateColumnFamilyImpl`, which covers the single-CF `CreateColumnFamily` API as well as both `CreateColumnFamilies` overloads (by-names and by-descriptors). Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/14732 Test Plan: * Added `ColumnFamilyTest.EmptyNameRejected` covering all three Create entry points; verifies `IsInvalidArgument()` and that no spurious handles are returned.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
