Not currently. HBase uses it's own file format that makes different
assumptions than parquet. Instead, HBase supports it's own format
optimizations, such as block encodings and compression. I would be
interested in an exercise to see what things are necessary for HBase to
support a columnar format such as parquet or orc; no such investigation has
been undertaken that I am aware of.

Thanks,
Nick
