Hello everybody!. I would like to know if there's a way to roughly estimate the maximum number of hits that a node will support based on its hardware (disk, memory and CPU).
Are there any formulas that I can use for this?
No, you generally need to benchmark this as there are a wide range of parameters that will affect this.
Hello Christian! Thanks for your reply. Would you recommend me any software to accomplish this task?
We often use Rally for this. This webinar provides an introduction and you can find the project on GitHub.
Thank you very much Christian!. I will try it out and let you know 
You may benefit from the following resources too:

Perfect!. Can it also be used for benchmarking Elastic 6.3.0? In the quick start of the GitHub Repo I see version=6.0.0.
Yes. It generally always supports the newest versions as we use Rally to benchmark them before releasing.
