I tried the following code in both Spark 1.5.1 and Spark 1.6.0:

import org.apache.spark.sql.types.{
    StructType, StructField, StringType, IntegerType}
import org.apache.spark.sql.Row

val schema = StructType(
    StructField("k", StringType, true) ::
    StructField("v", IntegerType, false) :: Nil)

sqlContext.createDataFrame(sc.emptyRDD[Row], schema)
df.write.save("hdfs://xxx")

Both 1.5.1 and 1.6.0 only save _SUCCESS file. It does not save any _metadata
files. Also, in 1.6.0, it also gives the following error:

16/06/14 16:29:27 WARN ParquetOutputCommitter: could not write summary file
for hdfs://xxx

I do not get this exception in 1.5.1 version though.

I see this bug https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15393, but this
is for Spark 2.0. Is there a same bug in Spark 1.5.1 and 1.6?

Is there a way we could save an empty dataframe properly?

Thanks.

Antonio.
