How to check if dask dataframe is empty

Question

Is there a dask equivalent of pandas empty function? I want to check if a dask dataframe is empty but df.empty return AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'empty'

Answer 1

Dask doesn't currently support this, but you can compute the length on the fly:

len(df) == 0

---

len(df.index) == 0 # Likely to be faster
