Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-3267:
-------------------------------------
[~Paul.Rogers] I think this is a bit different. The scope of this issue is to
have a function
{code}
table = pyarrow.empty_table(schema)
{code}
So the task is to construct the C++ data structure with a bunch of 0-length
columns.
> [Python] Create empty table from schema

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3267
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Python
> Reporter: Uwe L. Korn
> Assignee: Uwe L. Korn
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.11.0
>
>
> When one knows the expected schema for its input data but has no input data
> for a data pipeline, it is necessary to construct an empty table as a
> sentinel value to pass through.
> This is a small but often useful convenience function.
