[Paraview] parallel run filter operate on plane source

[Bam Ting]

 I see no logic for this in the plane source. So this is something that
happen behind the scene in pipeline execute? I guess it works like this: If
a source say by way of key "I produce piece 0 of 1" and he is run in
parallel if he is really piece n not 0 of m piece then RequestData is not
called on him? I this correct?

Thank you for the help! Appreciate much!
