soxofaan opened a new issue, #43863:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/43863
### Describe the enhancement requested
`pyarrow.dataset.partitioning(... flavor...)` supports three `flavor` values:
> The default (None) is DirectoryPartitioning. Specify flavor="hive" for a
HivePartitioning, and flavor="filename" for a FilenamePartitioning.
So to choose DirectoryPartitioning one has to specify `None`, which does not
feel very future proof (e.g. also see #30888 and #30889 ) and lacks the
explicitness and self-documenting properties of the other options ("filename"
and "hive").
Wouldn't it be better to support "directory" as a flavor option and make
this the default.
This also applies to some related functionality like
`pyarrow.dataset.write_dataset(...partitioning_flavor...)` and
`pyarrow.dataset.dataset(...partitioning...)`
