Abstract—the main objective of this research is to provide a thorough review on how to handle the rapid growth of health care data using Apache Spark framework. Healthcare data is not very structured and unique. This data is more diversified and complex and using linear analysis techniques on it is not helpful.

Managing such an amalgam o of data and turning it into usable information requires more advanced set of tools. [4]
II. V’S OF BIG DATA
• Volume: Big data implies enormous volumes of data. It used to be employees created data. Now that data is generated by machines, networks and human interaction on systems like social media the volume of data to be analyzed is massive. Yet, the volume of data is not as much the problem as other V’s like veracity.
• Variety: Variety refers to the many sources and types of data both structured and unstructured. We used to store data from sources like spreadsheets and databases. Now data comes in the form of emails, photos, videos, monitoring devices, PDFs, audio, etc. This variety of unstructured data creates problems for storage, mining and analyzing data.
• Velocity: Big Data Velocity deals with the pace at which data flows in from sources like business processes, machines, networks and human interaction with things like social media sites, mobile devices, etc. The flow of data is massive and continuous. This real-time data can help researchers and businesses make valuable decisions that provide strategic competitive advantages and ROI if you are able to handle the velocity. Professionals suggest that sampling data can help deal with issues like volume and
