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.
