What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Remove the SPARK-51112 workaround in
_convert_arrow_table_to_pandas()that bypassed PyArrow'sto_pandas()for empty tables.Why are the changes needed?
The workaround was added because arrow-java's
ListVector.getBufferSizeFor(0)returned 0, causing the offset buffer to be omitted for empty nested arrays in IPC serialization, which led to a segmentation fault in PyArrow.This has been fixed upstream in arrow-java 19.0.0 (apache/arrow-java#343), which Spark adopted in SPARK-56000 (PR #54820). The workaround is no longer necessary.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No.
How was this patch tested?
Existing test
test_to_pandas_for_empty_df_with_nested_array_columnspasses.Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?
No.
