How to properly read a folder supposedly contains Parquet files from Spark if the folder is empty












0















When I try to read a folder which supposedly contains files in Parquet format everything works if there is data, if there is no data I am getting error on the first line and subsequent code doesn't executue



val hdfsData: DataFrame = spark.sqlContext.read.parquet(hdfsPath)
hdfsData.rdd.isEmpty() match ....
....


Error: org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Unable to infer schema for Parquet. It must be specified manually.;



What's the right way to handle this scenario.
