      Idents stored and returned from the DurableCatalog can come in 4 forms!

      • <db_name>/<collection|index>/<ident_identifier>
        • directoryPerDb + wiredTigerDirectoryForIndexes
      • <db_name>/<ident_name>
        • directoryPerDb
      • <collection|index>/<ident_identifier>
        • wiredTigerDirectoryForIndexes
      • <ident_name>
        • default, no options enabled

      ident_identifier: <counter>-<random number>

      ident_name: <collection|index>-<ident_identifier>

      This interface design was a contributing cause to SERVER-89625. At the very least, better and clearer documentation of this universe of possibilities would make this interface less error prone. Redesigning is, of course, another option as well.
