Hi!  
I got a question for a long time. Does anyone know the query limit in one data node?  
how many query per second can serve by one data node?

That depends on a large number ion factors (type and amount of data, mappings, type of queries, hardware specification, latency requirements etc) and it is therefore impossible to say. You need to benchmark with realistic data and queries in order to estimate this.
