%% Connect to Spark
sparkProp = containers.Map({'spark.executor.cores'}, {'1'});
conf = matlab.compiler.mlspark.SparkConf('AppName','myApp', ...
                        'Master','local[1]','SparkProperties',sparkProp);
sc = matlab.compiler.mlspark.SparkContext(conf);

%% isEmpty
x = sc.parallelize({});
tf = x.map(@(x)({x,1})).isEmpty(); % tf=1
