How to create an empty DataFrame? Why “ValueError: RDD is empty”?

Question

I am trying to create an empty dataframe in Spark (Pyspark).

I am using similar approach to the one discussed here enter link description here, but it is not working.

You can just use something like this:

   pivot_table = sparkSession.createDataFrame([("99","99")], ["col1","col2"])
