I was going to add that //*:foo won't leverage the indexes (another reason not to use it when querying across the database), but it looks like that's not true anymore. It looks like the local name and namespace URI are separately indexed now, which is great!
I see that this: xdmp:plan(//*:foo) filters out documents without any <foo> elements, regardless of namespace. And even better, that this: xdmp:plan(//xyz:*) filters out documents that don't have any elements in the given namespace. Does anyone know when this was added? All I know for sure is that it works in MarkLogic 8 and not in 4.2 :-) Evan P.S. Hi, everybody! Long time no see!
