I currently have 5 indexes on a single node of Elasticsearch, one of these indexes has about 750000 documents.  
The average document insertion / update is 80 documents per minute in each index.

For this case is it recommended to create a new node or only one can handle the load?

It's like quantum physics, relevant to you.

Are things slow? Do you have query SLAs? Are you measuring response times, query times, system load etc etc?

Currently I'm still analyzing what should be done, because at the moment I'm just indexing the documents and not running querys.

My concern was because days ago the ES service stopped and did not come back.

Thanks @warkolm, I will wait until I run the first querys and see if they are slow.

You'd need to look at the logs to know why.
