   From @EdColeman  
   Not sure if this helps - but there is a use case for having an empty tablet.  If a user processes a data set and generates multiple tables, say data, metrics and errors - the ideal case would be that there are no errors (so an empty table).  Rather than handling the logic of if the table does not exist, there must be no errors, it was simpler for their query / scan logic to have the empty table.  The idea is that if there are issues, they could scan the errors to determine where things are going off the rails.
