The Parquet or sequence file format seems related to hadoop? I totally have no idea about them, as to Hadoop HDFS, there's a specific connector("get data"->"other"->"Hadoop Files(HDFS)").

Parquet does not need to be in HDFS.  I regularly use the format becuase it is partitioned and includes the data schema.  Extremely useful and time-saving.  https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr
