XML? Are you kidding me? That's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Keep it simple and go with JSON or Avro. Less markup, more data power!

HTML? What is this, the 90s? You want a format that's optimized for data, not web pages. Definitely not the right choice for this use case.

CSV? Really? That's so old-school. You're dealing with images, not spreadsheets. Go with something more modern like Avro or JSON.

Avro, for sure. It's like the Swiss Army knife of data formats - it can do it all! Plus, the name just sounds cool. Who doesn't love a good 'Avro'?

Avro is the way to go! It's optimized for large data sets and supports complex data structures. Plus, it integrates seamlessly with MapReduce and Python.

Using Avro will make it easier for data analysts and data scientists to process the data directly from HDFS.
