@naren-ponder Would it be possible to transition this to using the query compiler approach? At the moment, this looks like the empty_dataframe.py file is a lot of shared code with the dataframe.py file, except for all the default_to_pandas. It might be easier to default to pandas at the query compiler since the base object already does that automatically.

@naren-ponder were you planning to add any tests to this PR?

[Garra1980]

Any progress here?

[pyrito]

@Garra1980 yes, @Billy2551 is going to be taking this on. It'll probably be in a new PR, but we will keep this one up for now.
