used to show the parquet file path: `Cause: java.lang.RuntimeException: file:/tmp/spark-37..../00000000000000000000.checkpoint.parquet is not a Parquet file (length is too low: 10)`

In version 1.15.2, used by Spark 4: https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/blob/859eac165b08f927fa14590c33bc5f476405fb68/parquet-hadoop/src/main/java/org/apache/parquet/hadoop/ParquetFileReader.java#L584

Research direction

Start by comparing the linked ParquetFileReader.java locations from versions 1.13.1 and 1.15.2, focusing on how the error message obtains the path. Reproduce the reported short-file case using the shown parquet path and verify that the resulting exception identifies that path instead of the ParquetIOUtils object representation.
