Here's a standalone test code that reproduces the issue for me:

https://gist.github.com/jwpeterson/92f4b8422d6fbb1056e848c9b14ee1d7

Run on two procs with: mpiexec -np 2 and I get the following test.pvtu file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
> <VTKFile type="PUnstructuredGrid" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian"

>   </PUnstructuredGrid>
> </VTKFile>



As you can see, only one "Piece Source" is listed, but the output of the
program is actually all 3 files (test.pvtu, test_0.vtu, test_1.vtu) and
both the _0 and _1 files have nodes in them.  Furthermore, if I simply add
a second "Piece Source" line corresponding to "test_1.vtu", the whole thing
opens up just fine in Paraview.  I am a novice VTK programmer so it's very
possible I'm doing something wrong, but this code definitely worked in VTK
6.x, and 7.0.

Thanks for your help,
John
