                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2443

            Reporter: Florian Jetter


The conversion of an empty pandas categorical raises an exception. Before version `0.9.0` this was possible
{code:java}
import pandas as pd
import pyarrow as pa
pa.Table.from_pandas(pd.DataFrame({'cat': pd.Categorical([])})){code}
raises:

{{ArrowInvalid: Dictionary indices must have non-zero length}}
