Research direction

Start with the ParallelRunStep class page and its content source, AzureML-Docset/stable/docs-ref-autogen/azureml-pipeline-steps/azureml.pipeline.steps.ParallelRunStep.yml, linked in the issue. Check which output formats are documented and whether Parquet is supported; done means the documentation clearly answers the output-format question and explains the applicable behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There seems to be a lack of documentation regarding possible output data of ParallelRunStep, as all the examples in documentation only mention writing the output as delimited file. Is there a possibility to use parquet as an alternative output format? I am currently facing the issue, that the output data contains several characters that kind of mess up AzureML's parsing ability for delimited files (newline characters within data, seperator characters within data, etc.).
