Adding a private data collection shall not influence all orgs

[kaiknight]

Current Status

We have a blockchain channel consisting of 100+ orgs. When adding a new private data collection in collection definition file, since the chain code source code is not changed, the CC version number is not increased, but since collection definition file is modified sequence number is increased. Currently, we've got to have all 100+ orgs to install and approve chain code with new collection definition file for the chain code to be effective. It's a lot of work for collaboration in a decentralized system like HLF.

Expected

Only orgs related to the newly added collection (e.g. orgs in policy item of the collection) in collection definition file should have to install and approve the chain code. All other orgs shall not be influenced by the newly created collection.

Example: If I add a new collection assetCollection as follows, it will only be recognized by Org1 and Org2. So only Org1 and Org2 will have to install and approve it. All other orgs don't have to realize assetCollection is added since they will not read or write to it, so all other orgs will not install and approve the chain code again with the updated collection definition file.

---- collection definition file ---
[
{
"name": "assetCollection",
"policy": "OR('Org1MSP.member', 'Org2MSP.member')",
"requiredPeerCount": 1,
"maxPeerCount": 1,
"blockToLive":1000000,
"memberOnlyRead": true,
"memberOnlyWrite": true
},
....
other existing collections
