Question #3 is open again
According to the docs the answer I thought I'd found would only explain what
I'm seeing if I had the parameter parallel_degree_policy=AUTO, but I just
checked and it is set to MANUAL, so the parallel queries should still be using
direct path reads according to the doc:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/initparams179.htm#REFRN10310
SQL> show parameter PARALLEL_DEGREE_POLICY
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------
parallel_degree_policy string MANUAL

I found the answer to question #3 - apparently it's a new feature called
"In-Memory Parallel Execution" as documented at the links below. I'm still
looking for answers on #1 and 2 though if anyone has any ideas.
From: Allen, Brandon
1) How can I force production to use the direct path reads?
2) Why is it using "db file sequential read" for a full table scan instead
of "db file scattered read"?
3) I also tried setting PARALLEL to 2 on the table in question and it did
force Oracle to use a parallel execution plan, but it still used "db file
sequential read" instead of "direct path read" - any idea why this could be?
