Uwe L. Korn commented on ARROW-3267:
------------------------------------
[~Paul.Rogers] We already have the necessary builder infrastructure, this
function is mainly to have something to pass around when there is no data. Also
the {{Table}} instance is not meant to be modified, i.e. it will stay empty all
along the pipeline.
> [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.
