Although others might be able to comment,
IMO you need to provide more information, eg
 
Virtualization technology
What else is running in each node.
 
So, for comparison, this is my "lab" setup. I've been testing with approx. 
1GB data that has created up to 15GB of additional metadata. I've been 
surprised how efficient and functional the cluster is even with its minimal 
resources for the amount of data it's working with almost no noticeable 
latencies (the current bottleneck is Host disk I/O, nothing in the Guests). 
I have observed <no swapping> in any of the Guests. es-hq states thus, and 
I have verified by running "free" in each node.
 
node1 - 4GB ram, 20gb HDD,
LXDE Desktop installed, so can run multiple consoles, web browser and more 
easily.
Running ES, Kibana (and other web apps like es-head, es-hq), redis, 
logstash, netcat
 
nodes 2-4 -  1GB RAM 20GB HDD
All cloned from one so are as consistently the same as possible.
All running in text mode (no Desktop) so that all stats and observations 
should be as unpolluted as possible
Running <only> ES
 
I'm currently running in VMware, but IMO the configuration would be fine 
for practically any other virtualization technology.
 
Note that if you're running a Desktop in every node, the OS may be pushing 
parts of the Desktop's memory usage to swap.
