Expected behavior

Use of DATADIR should contain metadata related to a Table is being used. The datadir in created here

Actual behavior

DATADIR is created but the tables folder is always empty. I am just curious if this is the expected behavior for the data dir folder and if/when would it be populated with any data? Is this some older feature that is no longer needed? if its not needed, is there a way to configure it such that we dont create the datadir folder if not needed?
