ABSTRACT
Today it has become a necessary thing for the people to
analyze their health themselves under urgent situations of
the modern world. The people can have self medical
analysis by themselves by comparing the similar patients
record. This can be done through big data where similar
past records of patients history are available. Self-attend
service using big data paves way to challenges including
highly stable and flexible medical record retrieval, data
study as well as the protection of confidential information
of the patient. Here in this paper, we propose an Internet-
based computing structure for implementing a self-attend
service named Self-Medical Analysis to address the above
mentioned challenges. To support highly stable and
flexible medical record retrieval, data study and privacy
protection a Lucene based distributed search array is
implemented. Moreover, to increase medical record
retrieval a hadoop array is implemented for the storage of
data in offline and index building. The implementation of
self medical analysis is discussed, where similar data of
previous medical records and the structure of symptoms of
the disease are obtained, so that it will be useful for the
user to identify the exact type of disease they are affected
with. At last a structure is implemented to illustrate the
flexibility and effectiveness of our proposal.

1. Introduction
Why Internet-based computing is used upon big data?
A strategy taken by World Health Organization
addresses that there are 75% of people[1] among world
population who are in Suboptimal Health Status (SHS),
also known as the third state (i.e.,) neither sick nor
healthy. Among them an extensive part of people would
take notice of preventing the disease and civilize
themselves about the disease with the data in the previous
medical records of the patient[2][3][4]. To fulfill the demands
of SHS groups, self-attend service should be designed to
create knowledge on precautions of diseases at the earlier
stage. And it is also easy to produce self-attend service
due to huge and daily increase of medical and diagnosis
data. A big data issue arises here due to increased
amount of large amount of data in various formats. Due to
the vast features available in internet-based computing
over big data area.
2. Preliminary definitions
2.1 Medical Record
Basically, a medical record which is produced
electronically, has three tuple (i.e.,) EMR (Electronic
Medical Record)[6][7] which is patient record, patient
profile and clinical data.
2.1.1 Patient record
It generally contains the general information about
the person like name, age, gender, etc.
2.1.2 Patient profile
It contains the previous medical history of the
patient about the medical data of previous surgery,
disease, transfusion and as well as allergic history.
2.1.3 Clinical data
It contains detailed information symptom,
patient complaint, present history, analysis result,
treatments and so on which are related with a
patients each visit to a health-care analyzer.
2.2 Hadoop
Hadoop[8][9] is an open source software framework
which is an Internet-based computing is used for
operating applications on commodity hardware. It finds a
creative way of storing and processing information. It
consists of two main components:

 International Journal of Advanced Engineering Research and Technology (IJAERT)
2.2.1 HDFS
HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) stores
files in a array and large files are separated into blocks
and every blocks are written into multiple nodes.
2.2.2 MapReduce
It is parallel data processing model, which consists
of two parts: Map and Reduce. The task of Map is to
process the input records that are not dependent of
each other and produces key-value pair as an
intermediate result. The results obtained in the middle
of the process are placed on the local disk of the node
operating the Map task. At the time when all the Map
tasks are finished the Reduce phase starts the process
in which the intermediate data with the same key is
aggregated.
` even hundreds of thousands of servers to handle the
MapReduce Other commands
HADOOP YARN

Fig.1. Hadoop Architecture
Hadoop YARN is a clear-cut element of the open
source Hadoop platform for big data analytics, certified by
the charitable foundation called Apache software
foundation.
It includes a important element called a central
library system, a HDFS file handling system, and
MapReduce, both acts as data handling source. In
extension to these, theres YARN, which is particularized
as a array dais that helps to maintain resources and assign
works. The Apache software foundation, points YARN as
'next-generation or ' 2.0.
2.3 Lucene
It is an open-source project licensed by Apache
Software Foundation[11][12]. It provides maximum
performance and efficient Information Retrieval (IR)

library. The important component of it are indexing and
finding. To produce fast online searching, indexing and
finding are responsible and this method is implemented in
this paper for self-medical analysis. At first, the records
are converted into many documents along with standard
APIs. Then the documents are stored in HDFS as block
files. Map Reduce tasks are initiated to build index files
for each document to, facilitate simultaneous online
medical record finding. After the completion of indexing
phase the index files are stored in HDFS.
2.4 Data centre network (DCN)
Data center is a small placed of resources
(computational,storage, network) interconnected to each
other using a communication network[10]. Data Center
Network (DCN) holds a important role in a data center, as
it connects all of the data center resources together. DCNs
need to be extensible and productive to connect tens or
growing demands of internet computing. Todays data
centers are unnatural by the interconnection network

4. Proposed System
Inspired by these presentations, in this paper, we
address these challenges through the following
contributions:
In this paper we have proposed a Internet-based
framework for implementing a self-attending service
named Self-analysis. Concretely, a distributed Lucene-
based search array is constructed to provide highly
 International Journal of Advanced Engineering Research and Technology (IJAERT)
concurrent and flexible online retrieval of previous
medical records, data analysis and privacy protection
functions. To increase the retrieval of medical record, a
Hadoop cluster is adopted for offline data storage and
index building.
Particularly, the implementation of the Self-
analysis service consists of four steps. Firstly, a user
submits a query associated to their disease information.
Then medical records which matched the users disease
symptoms, gender and age are retrieved in Step 2. With
retrieved medical records, data analysis is processed in
Step 3, to compute a disease-symptom structure, which
matches the relations among diseases with common
symptoms. At last, private information in the medical
records is filtered according to an access control policy.
Therefore, the disease-symptom structure, as well as
medical records with private information about the user is
returned to users, which provide a detailed analysis basis
for users to have a primary analysis by themselves.
5. Self-attend service with structured array
In this paper, a arrayed structure is put to
appliance for self-attend service. The disease is
determined by the users through a sign of illness. The
references for self-attend service are provided with related
medical records. In our daily life self-attend services has
become more and more substantial, particularly under the
urgent situation of global ageing.
5.1 Outline of self-attend service with structured array
The structured array consists of two main array they
are online distributed search array and offline Hadoop
array.
The online distributed search array is designed to
transform the end users query in a highly coexisting and
scalable order. The load balancer are included from the
online distributed search array to search the nodes that are
used for obtaining therapeutic records. The data study
array is designed to create a sign of illness lattice. An
access control array is used to filter the results of secrecy
data that are obtained from the user. The load balancer and
the messenger balance the end-users query.
An offline Hadoop array is used for storing the data
that are retrieved from the user and the index building is
also used. The HDFS is used for storing the data and the
MapReduce is used for index building.
5.2 Shared data storage illustrative
www.ijaert.org

Volume 5 Issue 1, January 2017, ISSN No.: 2348 8190
The therapeutic records are mostly stored in XML file
systems and mostly in related records of database
management system. By lucene structure, the therapeutic
records are transferred into the lucene data files. On
applying the operations such as join and dump the
structured therapeutic records are transformed into the
Lucene records.
5.3 Online distributed search array
The major components of this online distributed
search array are load balancer, messenger array and search
node array, data study array and access control array.
5.3.1 Load balancer
The load balancer is a hardware interface for self
attending service. Receiving the query from the user the
load balancer transfers the query to the messenger by
selecting its rules. The selecting rule is usually dependent
on the user hardware.
5.3.2 Messenger array
The messenger array is responsible for both data study
array and the access control array. Receiving the user
query form the load balancer the messenger will set a node
to search the data from therapeutic records. When the
therapeutic records are returned then it gets merged with
the data study node from the data study array to build a
sign of illness disease lattice. Before returning the records
the sign of illness disease lattice and the therapeutic
records are accessed to get the filtered results of secured
data of therapeutic records.
5.3.3 Search node array
The search node array is generally elastic and scalable.
5.3.4 Data study array
From the given end-users query, the set of sign of
illness is incomplete due to the end-user imperfection
knowledge on therapeutic data. Relating to the therapeutic
records, the disease category and the sign of illness is
extracted.
5.3.5 Access control array
The end-user uses the access control array to filter the
secured data from the therapeutic records that are given by
the user.

6. Practice of self medical analysis
In this region the discussion about the practice of self
medical analysis through Internet-based computing is
done. The track includes the compliance of query,
obtaining therapeutic record, data study and filtering the
results of secrecy data.
6.1 Compliance of query
The end user submits the user query that blend with
his or her illness data. Receiving the query related with the
set of sign of illness, the server will forward the query to a
secured messenger from the end user.
6.2 Obtaining therapeutic record
The messenger selects a set of searched nodes that
are similar to the therapeutic records submitted by the
user.
6.3 Data study
From each search node on receiving the related
therapeutic records the messenger will match the searched
results and forward the results to the cloud data study for
data analyzing[12][13][14]. The node on data study will
generate a sign of illness for disease lattice related with the
therapeutic records that are retrieved.
6.4 Filtering the results of secrecy data
The secured data of the patient in the therapeutic
records are filtered according to the control of the target
user.
7. Estimation
Here, to explain the flexibility and adaptability of our
scenario, a prototype system is modeled and the real-time
example is presented. The flexibility of the Lucene-based
distributed search array is estimated with some
experiments, explicitly. An example is explained for a
clear understanding about how can a self-attend service
can be done effectively.
7.1 Prototype Model
At present, for self-attend service we have used internet-
based structure. For offline storage of data and index building, a
separate and intimate Hadoop array is adopted and twenty-one
PCs are built into a Lucene-based distributed search array in the
Internet-based structure, for introducing the performance of the
query processing made by the online users.

Fig.2. Framework of the prototype design
In the above mentioned diagram, the hadoop array
consists of eighteen nodes. Each node is built with two
Intel(R) Quad Core E5620 Xeon(R) processor each at 2.4
GHs and 24 GB RAM. A 2TB disk is seated. The array is
processed under Redhat Enterprise Linux Server 6.0, Java
1.6.0 and Hadoop-0.20.205.0[15]. At the same time, 21 PCs
operating under Ubuntu 9.0, Java 1.6.0 and Lucene-4.5.1
are constructed for query inquiry dealing of users in
online, in search array. A 3*6 search matrix can be
performed by search node array consisting of 18 PCs. The
other 3 PCs implements the performance of a messenger
array, a data analysis array and a access control array. A 2
Intel E5400 2.69 GHz processors, and 2GB RAM is
built inside each P .All performance are made using Java
and for index building and for query processing of the
online user, standard Hadoop MapReduce API and Lucene
API is implemented, accordingly.
7.2 A real-time example of self-attend service
A real-time example is shown to example how a
self-attend service is provided for the user. Consider Jack
is ill and he has the symptoms of hyperpnea and tickle
in throat. So, he tries to get some knowledge about his
disease to know in which department of the hospital he
should make an appointment in advance. Specifically, the
self-attend service falls under the following steps:
Step-1 Compliance of query
First and foremost, he visits the homepage of the
service to produce all the information of his disease. To
provide necessary information for the users to access the
self-attend service, the list of normal disease-symptoms
