Description

You can define ColumnFamily with collection type and compact storage as follows:

CREATE TABLE test (
  user ascii PRIMARY KEY,
  mails list<text>
) WITH COMPACT STORAGE;

This does not make sense and end up error when inserting data to collection.

INSERT INTO test (user, mails) VALUES ('foo', ['[e-mail]']);

I think it is better not to allow defining such ColumnFamily.
