Memory usage seems excessive

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Using ES 19.3 and ES_HEAP_SIZE=1g

Node stats are here https://gist.github.com/2893236
Info is here https://gist.github.com/2893271

The longer this runs the more memory gets used, currently 2.5g.
Utilization of elasticsearch is very low, just 1 shard and a handful of
documents and searches

What are the recommended steps to determine if this is a real problem? and
if so is there anything that can be done to minimize memory use?

It does not use memory at all on the JVM level (you can see the heap_used
part there). Do you have any special configuration or index level
configuration?

Yes heap used appears low but "ps aux" report 2gb resident and 4gb virtual
for elasticsearch

No special configuration, on IRC it was recommended that I try a different
JVM. Currently using openjdk will be trying oracle 7
