[MarkLogic Dev General] determining which indexes exist for adatabase

[Michael Sokolov]

The best I have come up with for this is:

let $has-uri-lexicon := try { cts:uris()[1], true() } catch { false() }
return
... if ($has-uri-lexicon) ...

Mark Logic people ; is there better?  What can we do for other sorts of
indexes?

We would really love to be able to get a list of all indexes, plus ideally
statistics on those indexes (how many keys, how many fragments mapped to,
how many bytes storage on disk, etc.)  Another nice feature would be to
track how "useful" the index was in some way: how many searches resolved?
