Explanation:

Box 1: Parquet

Parquet stores data in columns, while Avro stores data in a row-based format. By their very nature, column-oriented data stores are optimized for read-heavy analytical workloads, while row-based databases are best for write-heavy transactional workloads.

Box 2: Avro

An Avro schema is created using JSON format.

AVRO supports timestamps.

Note: Azure Data Factory supports the following file formats (not GZip or TXT).

✑ Avro format

✑ Binary format

✑ Delimited text format

✑ Excel format

✑ JSON format
