Does rally support indexing in a file format other than newline delimited JSON(NDJSON), specifically parqueet file/files? I know that rally support bulk-indexing which in turn has this [requirement](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html), however is there some pre-execution hook one can write/enable to parse parqueet into this format?

No, that is not supported. I would recommend converting the files using a custom script.
