> {{AlterTableStatement}} ensures that we cannot re-add a collection column of a type that is incompatible with a previously existing, dropped one.
> It doesn't make an exception, however, for {{frozen}} collections, yet those should be allowed.
> Code in question:
> {code}
> if (dropped != null && (dropped.type == null || (dropped.type instanceof CollectionType && !type.isCompatibleWith(dropped.type))))
>     throw new InvalidRequestException(String.format("Cannot add a collection with the name %s " +
>                 "because a collection with the same name and a different type%s has already been used in the past",
>                 columnName, dropped.type == null ? "" : " (" + dropped.type.asCQL3Type() + ")"));
> {code}
