Review Comment:
   Yeah interestingly that's the current behavior with spark:
   
   where df is empty
   ```
   df.writeTo("iceberg.test.empty").append()
   rows = spark.sql(
       f"""
       SELECT operation, summary
       FROM iceberg.test.empty.snapshots
       ORDER BY committed_at ASC
   """
   ).collect()
   rows
   [Row(operation='append', summary={'spark.app.id': 
'spark-application-1706807907810', 'changed-partition-count': '0', 
'total-equality-deletes': '0', 'total-position-deletes': '0', 
'total-delete-files': '0', 'total-files-size': '0', 'total-records': '0', 
'total-data-files': '0'})]
   ```
