Review comment:
       It would be much cleaner to avoid this boolean flag. I'd appreciate if 
everyone can think this through with me.
   
   The current proposal is to require data sources to keep the original 
distribution during runtime filtering. The question is whether changing the 
number of tasks would break anything.
   
   I can think of these scenarios:
   - Joins without shuffles with `SinglePartition` partitioning. Such cases are 
easy to handle. If runtime filtering filters out the only split, we can still 
emit an empty task and hence guarantee the exact same partitioning. We can do 
that in Spark.
   - Bucketed/storage-partitioned joins for v2 tables. We don't know the exact 
plan now (@sunchao is working on a proposal). There are ideas where this would 
not really matter. It seems like we can still address it there. 
   - Some streaming queries maybe? Streaming joins? But we don't really support 
predicate pushdown in streaming so I am not sure whether we need to care about 
that.
   
   cc @viirya @dongjoon-hyun @sunchao @cloud-fan @rdblue @HyukjinKwon, I'd love 
to hear your thoughts.
