### Rationale for this change Currently, the `arrow.table` construction function will return an empty `arrow.tabular.Table` if no input arguments are passed to the function. However, `arrow.recordBatch` throws an error in this case. We should consider making `arrow.recordBatch` behave consistently with `arrow.table` in this case. This should be relatively straightforward to implement. We can just set the input argument `T` to default to `table.empty(0,0)` in the `arguments` block of the `recordBatch` function, in the same way that `arrow.table` does: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/73454b7040fbea3a187c1bfabd7ea02d46ca3c41/matlab/src/matlab/%2Barrow/table.m#L21 ### What changes are included in this PR? Updated the `arrow.recordBatch` function to return an `arrow.tabular.RecordBatch` instance with zero columns and zero rows if called with zero input arguments. Before this change, the `arrow.recordBatch` function would throw an error if called with zero input arguments. **Example Usage:** ```matlab >> rb = arrow.recordBatch() rb = Arrow [RecordBatch](matlab:helpPopup('arrow.tabular.RecordBatch')) with 0 rows and 0 columns ``` ### Are these changes tested? Yes. Added a new test case to `tRecordBatch` called `ConvenienceConstructorZeroArguments`. ### Are there any user-facing changes? Yes. Users can now call `arrow.recordBatch` with zero input arguments. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
