title: How to store storm tuple as parquet structure into hdfs
body: <p>I would like to persist tuples from storm bolt as parquet structure into hdfs.</p>
  
  <p>1) Whats the best approach ? </p>
  
  <p>2) Do I need to pre-create AVro/Protobuff schema for parquet so that tuple can create parquet structure correctly ?</p>
  
  <p>3) Since I would like to use Spark for data analytics on parquet structures, should I store parquet into hdfs (as Spark plays nicely with Hdfs block) or storing parquet into any filesystem (S3 / Google Cloud) should be fine ?</p>
  
  <p>4) It would be great if anyone can share example of storm tuple to parquet conversion, as I am not familiar with any parquet library which is compatible to storm tuples.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
