What Do I Do If the Average Memory Usage of a CSS Cluster Reaches 98%?

Symptom

The cluster monitoring result shows that the average memory usage of a cluster is 98%. Does it affect cluster performance?

Possible Cause

In an Elasticsearch cluster, 50% of the memory is occupied by Elasticsearch and the other 50% is used by Lucene to cache files. It is normal that the average memory usage reaches 98%.
