Let's explore a step-by-step method for ingesting and converting HL7 records to usable Apache Hive tables for SQL queries, machine learning, and analysis in your Hadoop data lake.

Step 1

Collect HL7 health records.

Get Python to send JSON data to MQTT (data generated by Mockaroo):

import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt    
import json    
# MQTT    
client = mqtt.Client()    
client.connect("localhost", 14162, 60)    
row = [{"PID_SSNNumberPatient":823456789,"email":"ahospital0@census.gov","gender":"Male","ip_address":"138.135.180.206","drug_provider":"OrchidPharma Inc","icd9":"94140","icd9_description":"Deep necrosis of underlying tissues [deep third degree] without mention of loss of a body part, face and head, unspecified site","icd9P_proc":"7942","icd9_proc_description":"Closed reduction of separated epiphysis, radius and ulna","user_agent":"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/14.0.801.0 Safari/535.1","drug_used":"Naratriptan"}]    
json_string = json.dumps(row)    
client.publish("patientdata",payload=json_string,qos=1,retain=False)    
client.disconnect()

Step 2

Get to Apache NiFi via FTP, sFTP, File, Apache Kafka, MQTT, REST API, TCP/IP, or any other preferred option.

Step 3

Profit! Let's build a big data environment for our data.

Build HDFS directories:

su hdfs     
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hl7/hl7-mdm    
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hl7/hl7-adt   
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hl7/hl7-orm    
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hl7/hl7-oru    
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hl7/json/hl7-mdm    
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hl7/json/hl7-adt    
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hl7/json/hl7-orm    
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hl7/json/hl7-oru    
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hl7/flat/oru    
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /patientdata    
hdfs dfs -chmod -R 777 /hl7    
hdfs dfs -chmod -R 777 /patientdata   
hdfs dfs -ls -R /hl7   
hdfs dfs -ls -R /patientdata

Build Hive DDL:

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS patientdata

 drug_provider STRING, icd9 STRING, icd9_description STRING,
 icd9P_proc STRING, icd9_proc_description STRING, user_agent STRING,
