Description

yriveiro asked on the mailing list whether we had any ability to prevent a collection from being deleted with a property.

I don't know of any way to do this currently, but it does strike me as useful, so here's the proposal:

Implement some new collection properties, that when set, block certain Collections API actions.

At this time, I'm not even sure that user-modifiable collection-level properties actually exist, so that may need to be implemented before this can be implemented. It could be done with cluster properties, but that seems like a hack.
