 Review comment:
   I came across a case where there was an empty partition and when the udf 
processed it, the result is an empty Pandas DataFrame with no columns, see 
https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/23900/files#diff-d1bd0bd4ceeedd30cc219293a75ad90fR395
   
   I figured it would be pretty confusing for the user to handle these kind of 
cases, and it's pretty simple to just check and add an empty struct when this 
happens, so that's what this check is for.
