I am not aware of any suitable plugin that supports this format, but there seems to be a workaround available [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35815350/how-to-load-and-index-files-with-parquet-format-to-elasticsearch). Another option might be using the Elasticsearch Hadoop connector, but that would naturally bypass Logstash.

As far as I know there exists no parquet codec, so that may require developing one.
