[jira] [Created] (CRUNCH-315) Empty collection

Chao Shi created CRUNCH-315:
-------------------------------

             Summary: Empty collection
                 Key: CRUNCH-315
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRUNCH-315
             Project: Crunch
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Chao Shi


As discussed in the mailing list [1] and [2], I'd like to add an empty collection feature. On the API side, I think we can add a new method in Pipeline to create an empty collection. The collection should be a subclass of PCollection and behaves like other normal PCollecitons. There are also some optimization points that Josh mentioned in [2].

I haven't thought it clearly. Just put a ticket here and see if anyone else has a better idea.
