Hi Florent,
To put it short, they changed the behavior so that you no longer need
directories for internal operation. That used to be different if I am not
mistaken. They changed the database default around the same time. The only case
where you really need them is for WebDAV. Otherwise you can still use them for
storing general properties, like DLS does, but you don't need them. It saves
you from getting lock retention on those dir fragments as well.
Good ways to check if you really have dirs: cts:uri-match("*/"), and
exists(xdmp:document-properties("/a/b/")//prop:directory)
Cheers,
Geert

In addition,
Michael Blakeley shared this nice piece on directories vs directories
<http://blakeley.com/blogofile/2012/03/19/directory-assistance/>

It's a fun read and may help you get your head around what 'directory' means in
different contexts.

Hi,
I have a database with "directory creation" set to "manual". The
following expression:
xdmp:directory('/hello/', '1')/document-uri(.)
returns nothing (the empty sequence). Then I evaluate the following:
xdmp:document-insert('/hello/world.xml', <hello>World!</hello>)
which succeeds. I can see the document. I do not create any dir
manually, so I don't expect MarkLogic to create any automatically
either (since "directory creation" is set to "manual"). Although,
evaluating the following expression again:
xdmp:directory('/hello/', '1')/document-uri(.)
gives the following result:
'/hello/world.xml'
Tested on MarkLogic 7.0-2.3, through QConsole (besides the admin
console for the database creation).
What did I miss?
Regards,
