Hey great, thanks for looking into this!
I agree with skipping them. I can't think of a reason LightGBM should need to care about preserving the empty chunks on its side... it just wants to get from raw input data (chunked array) to the format for training (LightGBM Dataset) correctly and efficiently.

Motivation
Follow-up from #6166. Thanks a lot for proposing this test @jameslamb, it actually caught an error in the C++ code! I'm now ignoring empty chunks as keeping them around would make life hard (
.begin()couldn't beO(1)anymore which violates assumptions about iterators).Turns out we just got lucky in #6166 as the chunked array being initialized is contiguous in memory...
