Elasticsearch High CPU and RAM usage

I am a newbie in this area. I have setup elasticsearch. It works fine but the cpu usage and memory used becomes very high. This is hampering the servers performance. This is my elastic search version

{
  "status" : 200,
  "name" : "Aireo",
  "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "1.4.4",
    "build_hash" : "c88f77ffc81301dfa9dfd81ca2232f09588bd512",
    "build_timestamp" : "2015-02-19T13:05:36Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "4.10.3"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

I am using the default configuration in the elasticsearch xml. Thanks in advance

By default, Elasticsearch contains 1 GB heap size by default.

For just about every deployment, this number is far too small. If you are using the default heap values, your cluster is probably configured incorrectly.

You need to increase your RAM or you can reduce Heap Size(if you playing with small amount of data)
