ES 7.7.1, jdk 14.
We have two nodes with the same hardware(physical machine) under the same cluster which only hosts one index with 1 replica. Each node has the same shard.
The weird thing is that, one of the machine's CPU is very high, sometimes is running at full capacity while the other only uses 5%. Though they are handling the same queries.
Here are the flame graphs. We find that the BitSet.or method consumes almost 60% cpu.
What went wrong?
Do you have thousands of search terms in a terms query?
The section of code you're looking at is where terms query asks each term to load the full list of documents that contain that term and set a 1 in the bitset that is the union of all the terms.
The queries are about 30 terms avg.
I know the difference when the threshold exceeds 16.
My question is why they behaved differently? Why one node consumes so much cpu?
How many clients hit the cluster? Are they all favouring the same replica if it is a single shard?
The "routing preference" parameter helps keep clients go back to the same replica where caches are likely to be warmed for their searches and the routing key normally used is a session ID. Kibana uses this.
Yes, we have checked out the load balance, they are taking the same traffic.
Though clients are using the preference=_local, clients' routing algo is round-robin.
Here is the node status link.
Regardless of the traffic, we profiled a single query against two nodes result in the same situation.
Here is the query,

profile result, the right one is the healthy one
As we can see from the link, the left one's TermInSetQuery are taking much much more time than the right one. It looks like the problematic node is broken inside and can't go back to normal any more.
That's quite a difference.
We have two nodes with the same hardware(physical machine)
Do you mean same hardware make/model/spec or actually 2 nodes running on the same machine?
Is there a difference in segments e.g. numbers of deletes or segments in general?
If you force merge is there a difference? (force merge is very expensive so don't do it if in a production environment and not sure about what's involved).
I mean two servers, they got the same cpu/mem/ssd and so on.
Each one runs an es instance.
The shard has been forced-merge into one segment before taken the traffic.
What else info do you need
That is unusual.
Same software.
Same query.
Same content.
Same matching doc count.
Same number of segments (did you check after force -merge how many segments remain to confirm it is 1?).
File system cache may be a part to this. What are the timings given a cold start?
did you check after force -merge how many segments remain to confirm it is 1?
The number of segment is 1.
We have compared the status of the two shards, there is no big difference.
File system cache may be a part to this.
No swap is used, JVM's xmx is set to 31G, leave 160G to the system.
What are the timings given a cold start?
Both nodes and the index has been running in the production for a while(some weeks). Three days ago, one of the node's cpu went high.
This is a static index, which means there are no insertions or deletions.
The problematic node is still running in the production. Our SA won't restart it until we find out what went wrong.
This problem has tortured us for three days. Pls save us 
Can you share hot threads output while under load?
Here it is.
It's very similar to the flame graph we saw.

Thanks. The healthy and slow node differ because one uses a cache of results and the other doesn't.
Their stack traces differ in execution from this decision point
Perhaps the node settings differ in the space allocated to caches?
That's weird.
They use the same Elasticsearch.yml(same md5sum).
How the cache data become different while under the same traffic?
The comments in the logic that determines if a search "canCache" show some reasons why a search may not be cachable : elasticsearch/IndicesService.java at master · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub
Given this is a production environment and you may not have full control over the executing searches under diagnosis it will be hard to dig into this deeper.
It is fair to say though that given identical hardware, software, configuration, data and queries any difference between nodes is likely to come down to caches.
Yes, there's no way to work around the limitations of the java.policy, we can't use instumentation technology like btrace/greys to dig deeper.
In fact, it's a 100+ nodes cluster and they have been working well online for a long time. Somehow, that node suddenly went wrong. We still don't know what triggered this problem so far. What makes us more frightened is that we don’t know who it is the next one.
Any suggestions that can help us avoid/improve this problem?
You could enable the slow query log to get some insight into what queries are being used.
