Parquet format support for direct import from Azure Blob

[jasonyip]

It would be nice to have support for all formats listed in ADF: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/data-factory-data-movement-activities In th Supported file formats section. But I'd especially like parquet format support

Would also like to see Parquet support since it is perfect to access Azure Data Lake

Yep Parquet support for Power BI and Azure Analysis Services would be great

If Power BI support for parquet and ORC formats is added, the “no-cliffs” integration with Azure SQL DW and Data Factory is smoother. Parquet file format is a very popular in data analysis.

Getting asked about parquet file format more and more these days. Any update on roadmap to get this added or any work arounds?

Particularly Parquet and Avro are appreciated. Another valuable options would be HDF5.

Is there a way to read Parquet files directly from ADLS Gen2?

[daniel_araya]

Yes! Support Parquet please
