One node frequently goes into 100% CPU and GC loop

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

ES 2.1.0. I have 3 node cluster, identical config. One node always goes into 100% CPU and continuous GC when I send high traffic. Even if I stop sending any traffic, that node always remains in 100% CPU and continuous GC loop, while the other 2 nodes are back to 0% CPU.
Here's log from defective node:

You don't seem to have much heap for these nodes.

How much data are you sending and how much is in the cluster?

Are you distributing requests evenly across the 3 nodes?
