PARQUET-18: Fix all-null value pages with dict encoding.

TestDictionary#testZeroValues demonstrates the problem, where a page of
all null values is decoded using the DicitonaryValuesReader. Because
there are no non-null values, the page values section is 0 byte, but the
DictionaryValuesReader assumes there is at least one encoded value and
attempts to read a bit width. The test passes a byte array to
initFromPage with the offset equal to the array's length.

The fix is to detect that there are no input bytes to read. To avoid
adding validity checks to the read path, this sets the internal decoder
to one that will throw an exception if any reads are attempted.

Column index access support

This patch adds the ability to use column index based access to parquet files in pig, which allows for rename capability similar to other file formats.  This is achieved by using the parametrized loader with an alternate schema.

Example:
# File Schema: {c1:int, c2:float, c3:chararray}
p = LOAD '/data/parquet/' USING parquet.pig.ParquetLoader('n1:int, n2:float, n3:chararray', 'true');

In this example, the names from the requested schema will be translated to the column positions from the file and will produce tuples based on the index position.

Two test cases are included that exercise index based access for both full file reads and column projected reads.

Note:  This patch also disables the enforcer plugin on the pig project per discussion at the parquet meetup.  The justification for this is that the enforcer is too strict for internal classes and results in dead code because duplicating methods is required to add parameters where there is only one usage of the constructor/method.  The interface for the pig loader is imposed by LoadFunc and StoreFunc by the pig project and the implementations internals should not be used directly.

PARQUET-19: Fix NPE when an empty file is included in a Hive query that uses CombineHiveInputFormat

Make sure the valueObj instance variable is always initialized.  This change is neeeded when running a Hive query that uses the CombineHiveInputFormat and the first file in the combined split is empty.  This can lead to a NullPointerException because the valueObj is null when the CombineHiveInputFormat calls the createValue method.

Add a unified and optionally more constrained API for expressing filters on columns

This is a re-opened version of:
https://github.com/Parquet/parquet-mr/pull/412

The idea behind this pull request is to add a way to express filters on columns using DSL that allows parquet visibility into what is being filtered and how. This visibility will allow us to make optimizations at read time, the biggest one being filtering entire row groups or pages of records without even reading them based on the statistics / metadata that is stored along with each row group or page.

Included in this api are interfaces for user defined predicates, which must operate at the value level by may opt in to operating at the row group / page level as well. This should make this new API a superset of the `parquet.filter` package. This new api will need to be reconciled with the column filters currently in the `parquet.filter` package, but I wanted to get feedback on this first.

A limitation in both this api and the old one is that you can't do cross-column filters, eg: columX > columnY.
