issue: our cluster is observing high read operations

elasticsearch version: elasticsearch-6.2.1  
5 nodes each with 2 cpus and 7GB or ram  
the data volume for elasticsearch uses a zfs pool mounted using an ssd drive and the scheduler for that drive is set to noop

here is the node stats

i have also uploaded a diagram of the IO from a box and notice the avg reads per seconds is around 400.
