createCollection(connectionInfo, collectionId, throughput = "",
  partitionKey = "", indexingPolicy = "", databaseId = "",
  consistencyLevel = "", sessionToken = "", userAgent = "")

`connectionInfo`	A DocumentDB connection info object generated with getDocumentDBConnectionInfo().
`collectionId`	The ID of the collection to create.
`throughput`	Optional. The user specified throughput for the collection expressed in units of 100 request units per second. This can be between 400 and 250,000 (or higher by requesting a limit increase). If the value is over 10,000, then the collection must include a partitionKey definition. If the value is equal to or under 10,000, then the collection must not include a partitionKey definition.
`partitionKey`	Optional. This value is used to configure the partition key to be used for partitioning data into multiple partitions. If the throughput value is over 10,000, then the collection must include a partitionKey definition. If the throughput value is equal to or under 10,000, then the collection must not include a partitionKey definition.
`indexingPolicy`	Optional. This value is used to configure indexing policy. By default, the indexing is automatic for all document paths within the collection. To specify a custom indexing policy pass a string with a JSON element, eg. "indexingPolicy": .... See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/documentdb/create-a-collection for more details.
`databaseId`	Optional. The ID of the database in which to create the collection. If no database ID is specified, the ID will be taken from the connection info.
`consistencyLevel`	Optional. The consistency level override. The valid values are: Strong, Bounded, Session, or Eventual (in order of strongest to weakest). The override must be the same or weaker than the account's configured consistency level.
`sessionToken`	Optional. A string token used with session level consistency. For more information, see Using consistency levels in DocumentDB.
`userAgent`	Optional. A string that specifies the client user agent performing the request. The recommended format is user agent name/version. For example, the official DocumentDB .NET SDK sets the User-Agent string to Microsoft.Document.Client/1.0.0.0. A custom user-agent could be something like ContosoMarketingApp/1.0.0.

Some information extracted from the REST API response such as request charge and session token.
