> I'm not sure how much this scenario is tested. From Python that is certainly tested, since if you don't pass any partitioning columns in `pyarrow.dataset.write_dataset`, we create a default partitioning object with an empty schema (and the default is DirectoryPartitioning). --- > Maybe `ChunkPartitioning` (since files will still potentially be broken into chunks if needed)? The downside of that is that also for other schemes like HivePartitioning files _also_ get broken into chunks in addition to the hive-like directories, so that is not a distinguishing feature. Maybe the original "Default" partitioning is a decent name in the end, since "default" is ambiguous enough to avoid such conflicting interpretations of "flat" or "no" .. ;) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
