Elasticsearch lareg heap usage

Hi, running...

ES 1.5.2
Java 1.8_45
Windows 2008
4 nodes of: 32 cores 128GB 5 TB SSDs (each)

ES_HEAP_SIZE configured to 30g

I just finished bulk indexing 350,000,000 records but all 4 nodes are
consumming 60% heap usage and not collecting. I have your kit running on 1
node and I tried forcing GC but nothing went down.
I know disable explicit GC is turned on in the .bat files but with your kit
I'm still able to force collection. I was able to collect some memory
before.

Here is what is in the logs when I force GC from yourkit...

As you can see I forced it twice and not much got collected...

Is it the memory mapped files that are taking up the space? Right now the
cluster is idle.
