Hans Uhlig commented on SPARK-2279:
-----------------------------------
You can, you can also read in an empty file. However the Scala API has emptyRDD
as an option and Java should maintain parity. It provides better clarity in
code.
JavaSparkContext.emptyRDD() is a more descriptive of behavior. than
JavaSparkContext.parrallelize(new ArrayList<String>()) even if they have the
same result.
> JavaSparkContext should allow creation of EmptyRDD
