   > 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).

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" .. ;)
