Re: collection creation

[Kimbro Staken]

Interesting question. When we created the API there was no way to add 
collections at all. The CollectionManagementService was added later and it 
assumes that there is always some kind of collection to start from. 
Creating collections is a sticky problem overall because the existing 
databases are pretty different in this regard. That is the main reason it 
was pretty much left out. Can you assume a virtual root of some type that 
can be used for a starting point?

I'm working on a C++ implementation of this API. The first
puzzle I'm trying to solve is how collections are created. It
seems that the CollectionManagementService is the only
place where a collection can be created. And, it seems
that this service comes from getService on Collection. But,
I'd need a Collection object in order to get the interface to
create a collection. So, did I make a bad assumption, or
is the API specification incomplete in some respect?
