> [https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/python/pyspark/sql/dataframe.py#L1339],
> if you are calling `df.head()` and dataframe is empty, it will return *None*
> but if you are calling `df.head(1)` and dataframe is empty, it will return
> *empty list* instead.
> This particular behaviour is not consistent and can create confusion.
> Especially when you are calling `len(df.head())` which will throw an
> exception for empty dataframe
