    @viirya I took a look at parquet's code. Seems parquet only evaluate row 
group level filters when generating splits 
(https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/blob/apache-parquet-1.7.0/parquet-hadoop/src/main/java/org/apache/parquet/hadoop/ParquetInputFormat.java#L673).
 With FileSourceStrategy in Spark, I am not sure we will actually evaluate 
filter unneeded row groups as expected. Can you take a look? Also, it will be 
great if you can have a test to make sure that we actually can skip unneeded 
row groups. This test can be created as follows.
    
    1. We first write a parquet file containing multiple row groups. Also, 
let's that there is a column `c` and those row groups have disjoint ranges of 
`c`'s values.
    2. We write a query having a filter on `c` and we make sure that this query 
only need a subset of row groups.
    3. We verify that we only create splits for the needed row groups.
