    hey @marmbrus , this property is needed because : 
    1. The 'hijacked' parquet read path would not use mapreduce property while 
reading schema/footers, 
    
    see  refresh method in ParquetRelation2.scala
    
    2. HiveTableScan would need the pathfilter while creating RDD 
    
    see makeRDDForPartitionedTable in TableReader.scala
    
    These are not using the mapreduce.input.pathFilter (even if its is set by 
the user) property and hence the extra code.
